BAGHDAD—An Interior Ministry official said Thursday that the civilian spokesman for the Baghdad security operation has been kidnapped and three bodyguards killed.
Tahseen Sheikhly is a Sunni who often appeared with U.S. military and embassy officials at news conferences to tout the successes of the crackdown that began in Baghdad and surrounding areas more than a year ago.
The official said gunmen stormed Sheikhly's house Thursday in a Mahdi Army stronghold in southeastern Baghdad and torched it. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
