We Ap 12 -

WHO'S ON FIRST -

*Shortly after I left to work, four armed men in Iraqi police uniforms broke into the house of S. my neighbor...

After five minutes, A., my other neighbor, couldn’t stay silent doing nothing. He grabbed his cell phone from where it was left in his room. With fingers shaking, he pressed "130", a number the interior ministry allocated for citizens to inform about any kidnapping or terrorist operations people may notice.

"We will do our best by telling all the checkpoints around the neighborhood," the Colonel told A. by telephone.*

Treasure of Baghdad Blog reports the successful rescue of his kidnapped neighbor by another neighbor getting involved and taking action. The story also points to the confusion caused by the criminals' use of official-looking uniforms to impersonate authority figures. But all's well that ends well.
