Bangladeshis in Iraq safe: Envoy

Sunday, 6 July 2014



Bangladeshi nationals living in trouble-hit Iraq are so far safe and no Bangladeshi nurse has been held hostage in Tikrit, a strategically important city of Iraq, said the Bangladesh Ambassador in Baghdad on Saturday. A number of local media quoting Indian media claimed that 10 Bangladeshi nurses, employed in a hospital in Tikrit city, have been in the captivity of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) supporters.    — UNB
