CAIRO, Egypt Dec 28, 2005 — Militants on Wednesday released a video of a French engineer kidnapped in Iraq three weeks ago and denounced the "illegal French presence" in the country, the Arab news channel Al-Arabiya reported.
The video, an excerpt of which was aired on the satellite channel, showed the hostage, identified as Bernard Planche, sitting on a chair with two armed men on either side of him.
"I am sorry for everything that has happened … I want to thank all those who are trying to help me," Planche said. He identified himself as "Bernard" and said he worked on water projects in Baghdad.
The name of a previous unknown militant group, called "Monitoring For Iraq," was shown in the corner of the footage.
Al-Arabiya said the militants denounced the "illegal French presence" in Iraq and demanded the withdrawal of French troops from the country, although it did not play that segment. France has not sent forces to Iraq.
Planche, an engineer working for a non-governmental organization called AACCESS, was kidnapped Dec. 5 on his way to work at a water plant in downtown Baghdad.

| a man working, presumably rebuilding water systems that will bring fresh water to the needy people of iraq, has been kidnapped, threatened and unjustly charged with an illegal presence in a country he is only trying to help. |

that's not wrong, it's just seen as being so when anyone tries to help, as many of us genuinely would want people from any ethnicity or religion to have a prosperous life |

Two points for participation. And add the 4 I took away from fastmp3 and the 1 I took from Lepanto. You get a total of, hmm, well, I hope you can add.

Thanks for the correction. You get 3 points and the extra point I took away from Ian. But since you used foul language, I will take all four away and burn your Barcelona shirt.

Three points for coherence in participation.

Although out of topic (typical of the COR), you get 2 participation points. But I will take away 1 since you wrote the name incorrectly.

The fact that it's a new group is given. You're right on the rest. But since you ended up with a question mark showing your insecurity I will only give you 9 points.
"France has no troops in Iraq and is not taking part in any form of police training. There are some 90 French nationals in Iraq, about half of them working at the French embassy."
