Australians 'kidnapped' in Iraq

Two Australians and two East Asians have been kidnapped in Iraq, said a statement purportedly from the Islamic Secret Army handed out in the Sunni Muslim insurgent bastion of Samarra on Monday.

The statement gave Canberra a 24-hour deadline to end its interests in Iraq or see the hostages executed, but there was no immediate confirmation of the ultimatum's authenticity.

"One of our brave brigades ambushed civilian cars belonging to the American army on the motorway from Baghdad to (the main northern city of) Mosul," said the statement dated today.

"It took four prisoners, two Australians and two East Asian nationals who were working as security contractors for important people," it said.

"We tell the infidels of Australia that they have 24 hours to leave Iraq or the two Australians will be killed without a second chance."

no wonder  why saddam was so ruthless

they should put him back in power and take their freedom away.

So you are saying the entire country deserves the same punishment a small group of extremists does???

Sorry, but that was a very stupid comment!!!

I have friends from Iraq, tha told me of the horrible lives they led there, people more gentle than you and I, and you say that these people need to be governed by tyrant such as Suddam?

People here are becoming as bad as Americans! I am suprised how many people know absolutely nothing about any other part of the world, except the one they live in.....

Attached is an example of the perception the U.S. people have on the rest of the world... We might need another one done here...

Acording to the australian embassy every registered australian has been accounted for in iraq.

This means the possiblity that this 'kidnap' was a hoax is looking quite likley.

While it is not certain it was a hoax because it is possible that the australians didnt register with the embassy.

I'm starting to suspect a hoax

hmmm... I hate to say it for anyone captured regardless of race or religon but if you swim with sharks, expect to be bitten. These thugs thrive on this sort of publicity giving them everything thing they want.. "Any New Goverment that supports them" Look at spain, and unfortunately possibly Australia. (Can you tell I vote Liberal? :D )

You beat bullies by standing up to them! Saddam was good for one thing only...Controlling the wannabees.

Possible conspiracy theories - Fahrenheit 911 anyone? The government is more powerful then you think and willing to take more risks then you think.

Just before a federal election, make some ploy where Iraqis capture some Australians, John Howard magically negotiates and the hostages are freed. John Howard becomes a good man in the peoples eyes.

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
