Armed Kurds abduct 10 taxi drivers

Armed Kurds have abducted 10 taxi-drivers from Samarra to avenge the murders there last week of five Kurdish Iraqi army recruits, a police spokesman said.

"Armed Kurds abducted from Kirkuk bus station 10 taxi drivers from Samarra, where five Kurds were recently kidnapped, killed and their bodies burnt," the police officer said.

He said he did not know where the taxi drivers had been taken.

A Kurdish official here announced the deaths of the five Kurdish recruits on Monday.

1. Are the Kurds to be considered "terrorists" now?

Kind of like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, I guess. They're our "friends in the war on terra" so they'll never be called "terra-rists."
