Australians 'kidnapped' in Iraq

Two Australians and two East Asians have been kidnapped in Iraq, said a statement purportedly from the Islamic Secret Army handed out in the Sunni Muslim insurgent bastion of Samarra on Monday.

The statement gave Canberra a 24-hour deadline to end its interests in Iraq or see the hostages executed, but there was no immediate confirmation of the ultimatum's authenticity.

"One of our brave brigades ambushed civilian cars belonging to the American army on the motorway from Baghdad to (the main northern city of) Mosul," said the statement dated today.

"It took four prisoners, two Australians and two East Asian nationals who were working as security contractors for important people," it said.

"We tell the infidels of Australia that they have 24 hours to leave Iraq or the two Australians will be killed without a second chance."

no wonder  why saddam was so ruthless

they should put him back in power and take their freedom away.

So you are saying the entire country deserves the same punishment a small group of extremists does???

Sorry, but that was a very stupid comment!!!

I have friends from Iraq, tha told me of the horrible lives they led there, people more gentle than you and I, and you say that these people need to be governed by tyrant such as Suddam?

People here are becoming as bad as Americans! I am suprised how many people know absolutely nothing about any other part of the world, except the one they live in.....

Attached is an example of the perception the U.S. people have on the rest of the world... We might need another one done here...

Acording to the australian embassy every registered australian has been accounted for in iraq.

This means the possiblity that this 'kidnap' was a hoax is looking quite likley.

While it is not certain it was a hoax because it is possible that the australians didnt register with the embassy.

I'm starting to suspect a hoax

hmmm... I hate to say it for anyone captured regardless of race or religon but if you swim with sharks, expect to be bitten. These thugs thrive on this sort of publicity giving them everything thing they want.. "Any New Goverment that supports them" Look at spain, and unfortunately possibly Australia. (Can you tell I vote Liberal? :D )

You beat bullies by standing up to them! Saddam was good for one thing only...Controlling the wannabees.

Possible conspiracy theories - Fahrenheit 911 anyone? The government is more powerful then you think and willing to take more risks then you think.

Just before a federal election, make some ploy where Iraqis capture some Australians, John Howard magically negotiates and the hostages are freed. John Howard becomes a good man in the peoples eyes.

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Are you talking about the oil squirters? There is only one place for them to go. Yes, you have to drill the holes. Yes you have to obtain the correct oil squirters (I presume there is some sort of aftermarket option available, because original turbo ones are going to be a diminishing resource).

      I thought you didn't let mechanics, especially those with no idea, work on your car any more? Wouldn't that mean it won't be an issue in your case?
