A Danish man is thought to have been taken hostage in Iraq, Denmark's Foreign Ministry said.
"A Danish national likely is being held back in Iraq," the ministry said in a statement. "No Iraqis or Iraqi groups have contacted Danish authorities."
According to Danish public television DR-1, the unnamed man was a businessman in his 30s and working on a sewage project in Iraq.
He was travelling from the southern Iraqi city of Basra to Baghdad when he was taken captive in Tadji, DR-1 said.
