U.S. Journalist Kidnapped in Baghdad, Search Underway

0:00It's March 31st. This is Global News Today, powered by AI Your World in real-time. I'm Corey with The Story. A female journalist with the U.S. passport got kidnapped and bagged at on Tuesday by four men in civilian clothes. They grabbed her by force and sped off in a vehicle according to police sources. One suspect is already in custody and Iraqi interior ministry officials say they're working hard to get her back safely. They didn't mention her nationality publicly, keeping details tight. The U.S. State Department hasn't commented yet. This hits close to home after that Israeli Russian Princeton grad student was snatched by an Iran-linked militia back in March 2023 and finally free two years later. Right now, cops are chasing leads in the eastern part of the capital where the kidnappers headed. The search is full throttle. We'll keep eyes on this as it unfolds, hoping for a quick and safe resolution in a city that seemed too much of this chaos.
