The kidnapping and killing of truck drivers by Iraqi insurgents continued Sunday as at least four more men were taken hostage and the body of an Egyptian man was found.

Insurgents calling themselves the Fallujah Mujahedeen seized the four Jordanian drivers, accusing them of cooperating with U.S. forces, according to a videotape broadcast Sunday by Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera.

A Turkish trucking company, Renay International, announced that it was pulling out of Iraq after one of its drivers, 48-year-old Mithat Civi, a father of three, was abducted, the Turkish news agency Anatolia said.

Iraqi insurgents have targeted the truck drivers to choke off supplies to U.S. troops and private contractors involved in the reconstruction effort. Several companies have ceased operations in Iraq in response.
