Possibly (hopefully) a hoax.

The terrorists have not released any names or givin any proof and apparently all Australian workers have been accounted for :conf:

Agreed, it does look like a hoax. There hasn't been a video as yet, so I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't just some idiot on the internet having a joke.

Prime Minister John Howard emerged from diplomatic briefings to ensure the nation that all 88 Australian civilians registered in Baghdad were accounted for.

Several hours later he admitted that was not the case and authorities were still investigating the claims and trying to locate all Australians.

Is this guy actually capable of telling the truth or what? :(

Having said that, they're still pretty confident that it's a hoax according to the article, so hopefully that's the way it pans out. I have a feeling we'll know for sure - one way or the other - by the time I wake up tomorrow though... :-/
