TWO members of Iraqi prime minister Iyad Allawi’s family have been abducted by gunmen from their Baghdad home.
The missing relatives are Mr Allawi’s cousin Ghazi Allawi, 75, and his cousin’s daughter-in-law.
An Islamist group said in an internet statement it had carried out the kidnappings and threatened to behead them.
"If the agent government does not meet our demands within 48 hours we will behead (the hostages)," Ansar al-Jihad Group said in the statement.
