Kidnappers of UK citizens may take part in Iraq elections
The kidnap group, believed to be an offshoot of the militant Shia Mehdi Army of Moqtada Sadr, is said by Iraqi government officials to be eager to take part in the elections - but will perhaps only be allowed to do so if it rehabilitates itself politically by cleaning up its act and releasing the hostages.
The Shia Mehdi Army released one live UK detainee and five dead ones recently. The 'release' of these prisoners may also be partly because US is handing back several hundred Iraqi detainees to Iraq.
The Iraqi public generally couldn't care less about the UK detainees.
IMO: Maybe some UK Paki could kidnap Tony Blair and then stand for the next UK elections. That could give him plenty of votes.
