An Islamic militant group in Iraq has kidnapped a US national of Lebanese origin who works as a manager at Baghdad airport, Qatar-based al-Jazeera satellite channel reported on Friday.
Al-Jazeera said it received a video tape from his kidnappers who called themselves the 1920 Revolution Brigades, a group which has previously kidnapped foreigners working with US forces.
The Arabic television aired the video tape showing the man holding up his passport and an identity card identifying himself as Dean Sadek.
The channel said the man worked at Baghdad airport for a company called Skylink and called on foreign contractors to stop working for his employer.
A US-Lebanese man working for Iraq's transport ministry was kidnapped on Nov. 3 from his house in Baghdad.
