GUNMEN kidnapped eight Christian university students and a lecturer in
northern Iraq today, police said.
They said the group was snatched off a bus east of the city of Mosul.
The students were going home after completing exams.
Militants often target Iraq's tiny Christian community.
Thousands of Christians have fled Iraq in recent years, joining an
exodus of some two million Iraqis who have sought a safer life in mainly
neighbouring countries.
