according the the intelligent terrorists.
James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden were among
four captured at gunpoint in Iraq Sunday.
James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden, both members
of the Christian Peacemaker Teams, were among four
aid workers abducted Saturday at gunpoint in Baghdad,
the organization confirmed in a statement late Tuesday.
Mr. Loney, 41, a community worker from Toronto, had
spent many years working with the city's homeless
before joining the organization in 2000. He had been
leading the group before he was abducted.
Mr. Sooden, 32, a Canadian electrical engineer, was
described by his family as being “peaceful and
fun-loving and he is known to be passionate about
the plight of the underprivileged around the globe.”
Two others, Tom Fox, 51, of Clearbrook, Va., and
long-time British peace activist, Norman Kember,
74, were also among those abducted, the group said
in a statement Tuesday.
May god be with them all. Yesterday at work
we got a call from a woman requesting a
flight to Iraq. We advised her no one flew
there and advised her against it. She
purchased a ticket to Dubai.
