This is what the Nepali guy had to read as a statement infront of the camera. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We come here to Iraq on the basis of an agreement between our company, Nepalese agency, and the American (army), with the help of a Jordanian company... to help with American force," said one of the hostages, seated amongst the 11 other captives. "The salary is ... 2,500 dollars they give us on guarantee, and then they said for us that the situation is not dangerous in Iraq but we see the situation" is dangerous, added the hostage, reading a statement in broken English. "We are arrested by unknown group and this is on evidence the situation is not under American" security or control in Iraq, said the hostage, who had a US flag pinned to his chest, covering the front of his shirt. "So we ask anyone who wants to come to Iraq not to be cheated by these high salary because they are false and America is lying," source-undisclosed website -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
