Five Britons have been kidnapped from Iraq's finance ministry in Baghdad, the British government has confirmed.

Those abducted include four bodyguards from security company GardaWorld and a finance expert.

Witnesses and sources told the BBC that the kidnappers wore police uniforms and arrived in up to 40 police vehicles.

Place your bets. How do you think this situation will play out? Who do you think is responsible?

Well, 40 police vehicles as well as kidnappers wearing police uniforms. They must've got them from somewhere, you can't get that amount of hardware by stealing/killing for it (surely?)

LOL, as far as I can tell... that's one from the list of infinite interpretations that can be plucked from the God "hat." You know he has a very big head.

Humans are responsible, since free will rules out any divine meddling. As for playing out, however, I don't want to sound pessimistic but... I don't think we'll be seeing them alive--- unless we do. (covering in case I'm wrong and could possibly be quoted )

I think everything will work out fine and they'll come out of it alive.

"God" is an idea - more often than anything else. And demonstrating it is anything other than an idea is impossible. So yeah the idea of "God" is the idea responsible for this [recent, and other] nonsense.

I doubt that anyone with Islamic beliefs would do something like this, must be the IRA.

Why? Because it's the easiest scapegoat and has been for thousands of years? Blame the ideas of what people think is acceptable first.

These aren't the droids you are looking for. Move along.

Seriously though, who pays the Iraqi Police? US budget or Iraq? How the fuck are they able to organize a kidnapping operation in front of the Finance Building past guards?

a lot of the case its just uniforms. we were cracking down on guys selling Police and army uniforms out in the markets in baghdad. im guessing its still pretty easy to make/get hold of still. all it is is a light blue long sleeve shirt and navy blue slacks.

Shit I think I could just about pull that off without spending any money. Do they not even have any patches and such?

Hell I could make an Iraqi police uniform, you can get your hands on anything these days. As for those kidnapped I wouldn't be too surprised if they were found dead, it is Baghdad after all. Virtually anyone who goes missing there is dead with a few exceptions.

Can we just glass the region and be done with it?
