BAGHDAD, Iraq - Gunmen broke into a mobile phone company office in Baghdad and seized two Egyptian employees, government officials said Friday, while the family of a British hostage shown pleading for his life on a video earlier this week awaited word on his fate.

The Egyptians were kidnapped late Thursday in the upscale Harthiya neighborhood, said Interior Ministry official Col. Adnan Abdel-Rahman. The two engineers were taken away in a black BMW, he said.


Another ministry official said the assailants tied up the guards outside the building before breaking in and seizing the two men. The men's employers at Iraquna Mobile Net had no immediate comment.


More than 130 foreigners have been kidnapped in Iraq — some for lucrative ransoms — and at least 27 have been killed.
