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 Adel 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.
Why did the insurgents kidnap the American journalist?
选项
A、Only to rob her of her money.
B、To rape her.
C、Only to take her hostage.
D、To make American troops out of Iraq.
答案
D
解析
根据文章第四段的“…aiming to force U.S.troops to leave Iraq or prevent Arab nations from strengthening their ties with the Baghdad government”,可以看出绑架的目的就是要迫使美国军队撤出伊拉克。
