问题     BAGHDAD, Iraq—Gunmen kidnapped a female American journalist and killed her Iraqi translator Saturday, Jan. 7th, in western Baghdad, an Interior Ministry official said.
    Maj. Falah Mohamadawi said the translator told police before he died that the abduction took place when he and the journalist were heading to meet Adnan al-Dulaimi, head of the Sunni Arab Iraqi Accordance Front, in the Aclel section of the city.
    The neighborhood is dominated by Sunni Arabs and considered one of the toughest in Baghdad.
    According to Samir Najim, a guard at al-Dulaimi’ s office, three armed men intercepted(拦截)the journalist’ s car and shot the translator before taking her in their car and driving away. The kidnapping took place about 100 yards from al-Dulaimi’ s office. Insurgents have kidnapped more than 250 foreigners in the past two years, aiming to force U. S. troops to leave Iraq or prevent Arab nations from strengthening their ties with the Baghdad government.
    Some of the hostages were killed, while others were released after ransoms were paid or freed after Muslim clerics called the armed groups to release them.
    On Dec. 8, the Islamic Army in Iraq claimed to have killed U. S. electrician Ronald Schulz. Other groups are holding a French engineer and four Christian humanitarian workers — two Canadians, a Briton and an American.
What did the insurgents do with the hostages?

选项 A、They killed the hostages all after they caught them.
B、They either got rid of them or freed them; it all depended.
C、They did nothing to the hostages; they only used them to threaten the American troops.
D、They cared for the hostages very well just to use them to advise the American authorities to withdraw troops from Iraq.

答案B

解析 第五段告诉我们他们要么撕票,要么释放,如果交了赎金或者穆斯林神职人员报警就可以释放。因此答案为B。
