The body of a kidnapped Iraqi Kurdish journalist who was well-known in Saddam Hussein's era has been found in Baghdad.
Nasrallah al-Dawoodi worked as editor of the Arabic-language Iraqnewspaper until Saddam's overthrow by US-led troops.
The daily was devoted mainly to Kurdish affairs.
His wife said Mr Dawoodi (55) had disappeared on Wednesday after being invited to a Ramadan evening meal.
His kidnappers later contacted her demanding a big ransom.
Police found his bullet-riddled body in New Baghdad, a southeastern suburb of the Iraqi capital, yesterday.
