Interesting that today it's an electricity company, the other week I remember kidnappings of employees of a telecoms company.
Makes me wonder whether the motives here are just plain old greed, or if there's a plan to systematically destroy the infrastructure by making staff
in key industries terrified to go to work.

The Islamic Army in Iraq, is the same group that seized two french journalists last month. Three of the hostages were held at gunpoint on the video, they have yet to be identified.
The demands for the two French journalists kidnapped last month were that France remove it's banning of headscarves for children in school. France has not complied with the demands of the kidnappers.
The payment of a ransom by Italy has probably just encouraged this tactic
by militants.
