BAGHDAD, Iraq

Al-Jazeera broadcast an insurgent video Tuesday showing four peace activists taken hostage in Iraq, with a previously unknown group claiming responsibility for the kidnappings.

The Swords of Righteousness Brigade said the four were spies working undercover as Christian peace activists, Al-Jazeera said. The station said it could not verify any of the information on the tape.

The aid group Christian Peacemaker Teams has confirmed that four of its members were taken hostage Saturday.

German television broadcast photos Tuesday showing a blindfolded German woman being led away by armed captors in Iraq. Six Iranian pilgrims, meanwhile, were abducted by gunmen north of Baghdad.

"The Swords of Righteousness Brigade said the four were spies working undercover as Christian peace activists..."

It's fairly easy to avoid capture and beheading... DON'T GO TO IRAQ!

Some people are really pretty stupid.

If someone offered me a job to go there I would say NO, no matter how much they are offering me. The soldiers don't have much say in where they are deployed to.

If you think it's such a hot job then why don't you go over there yourself N8?
