A guard and an attacker were killed as the terrorists stormed the offices with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades. Three Iraqi guards were among the hostages. Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said foreigners are being kidnapped and killed to pressure their governments into recognizing the terrorists as "legitimate political actors."

Also from Baghdad today, Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah, Deputy Governor of Baghdad, was assassinated in a drive-by shooting in the south of the city.
