Ten hostages' captured in Iraq

The Arabic television channel al-Jazeera has broadcast footage of what it says is a militant group claiming to have seized 10 new hostages in Iraq.

The video, said to be from a group calling itself the Islamic Army in Iraq, showed three men held captive and two masked gunmen.

It says the hostages - two Indonesian women, six Iraqis and two Lebanese - work for an electronics firm.

There was no mention of any demands, or when or where the hostages were taken.
