An American journalist was abducted in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, and an individual connected to an Iranian-backed terrorist group has been detained.
The Iraqi Interior Ministry said in a March 31 statement that a foreign journalist was kidnapped by “unknown individuals,” but did not disclose the journalist’s nationality or the location of the incident. She was identified as freelance journalist Shelly Kittleson by Al-Monitor, one of the media outlets she works for.
