Four Lebanese truck drivers have been taken hostage in Iraq, a source in Beirut's Foreign Ministry said today.
The source said the four were captured yesterday on a road outside the capital, Baghdad. He had no information about who had taken them hostage or who they worked for.
Another Lebanese man, Mr Antoine Antoun, is believed to be being held hostage in Iraq. He was kidnapped along with a Syrian driver last Friday, according to his relatives in north Lebanon.
