18名土耳其工人在巴格達遭槍手綁架大綱

Gunmen kidnapped 18 Turkish workers Wednesday in Iraq's capital.

The workers, who were part of a crew building a football stadium, were taken in the mainly Shi'ite Habibiya district in northeastern Baghdad.

There was no indication of the identity of the kidnappers or their motive.

Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said Turkish authorities were in contact with those in Iraq.

Last year, Islamic State militants seized 49 Turkish hostages from Turkey's consulate in Mosul and held them for more than three months before releasing the group. Those hostages included diplomats, soldiers and children.星期三，槍手在伊拉克首都綁架了18名土耳其工人。

這些正在修建一座足球場的工人在巴格達東北部什葉派穆斯林聚居的哈比比亞城區被綁架。

目前還不清楚綁架者的身份以及他們的目的。

土耳其副總理庫爾圖爾姆斯說，土耳其當局與伊拉克方面保持着接觸。

去年，伊斯蘭國激進分子在土耳其駐摩蘇爾領事館扣押了49名土耳其人質，三個多月後才釋放他們。人質中包括外交官、軍人和兒童。
