The bodies of two Baghdad International Airport employees and their driver, kidnapped earlier this week, were discovered Saturday in a field in southwestern Baghdad, police and hospital officials said. Mahir Yassin, director of the airport's communication department, along with fellow employee Mahmoud Hamad al-Zawbaie, and driver Mahmoud al-Zawbaie were discovered around 6:30 a.m. Saturday in the Amil neighborhood, said police Capt. Talib Thamir. They were taken to Yarmouk Hospital, where officials discovered their identification cards on their bodies, The Associated Press quoted Dr. Muhannad Jawad as saying. The three had been kidnapped Wednesday from Baghdad's western Mansour neighborhood by assailants in two cars as they were heading to work.
