Iraq group kidnaps Turk technician, set demands -TV

DUBAI, June 15 (Reuters) An Iraqi group has kidnapped a Turkish technician and demanded that Turkey withdraw its envoy from Baghdad and press the United States and Iraq's government to free Iraqi prisoners, Al Jazeera television said today.

A video from the Imam Ali Batallion aired by the satellite station showed a middle-aged man holding up an indentification card bearing the name Hasan Eskimutlu. Al Jazeera said the group gave Turkey one week to meet its demands.
