They are feeding us ... This is routine and must happen so they can stop infidels from entering Iraq. You too my kids, Ahmed and Ali, don't worry. I am coming at the end of the month as I promised you, but if we die, then, I say thank God." <P>These were the words of one of seven workers, Mohammed Alli Sanad, being held hostage by Iraqi fighters who have threatened to behead them should the company that employed them fail to withdraw. The countries of the seven hostages - three Kenyans, three Indians and one Egyptian - have also been asked to withdraw their citizens from Iraq if the hostages are to escape execution. <P>Just on Tuesday, a Filipino truck driver, Angelo de la Cruz was freed after Manila bowed to the demands of his captors and withdrew its small military contingent from Iraq a month early. <P>The move was however criticised by the United States (U.S.) and Australia, both key allies, and by Iraqi's Interim Government which said the Philippines was giving in to terrorism. <P>Relatives of the kidnapped men said they were just impoverished contract workers trying to make a living and support their families, and begged for their release. <P>"He predicted difficulties in his line of work but was determined to go ahead with it. He decided to stay despite the dangers to work for the sake of his family," said Esha Nyarimbo Mwandighi, wife of Kenyan hostage, Ibrahim Ehamis. <P>The family of Sukhdev Singh, one of the Indian hostages, sold an acre of farmland to raise money to send him to the Middle East to help pay off their debts, his brother said. <P>"We thought that we would be able to pay back our debts by him going as we have a lot of debts," Harvinder Singh said. <P>"It has become very difficult for us. Now only the government will be able to help free Sukhdev Singh." <P>"If they carry out their threat, it would be a serious development. We condemn this incident," Indian Foreign Minister Natwar Singh said. Kenyan Foreign Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere said his country "will do everything possible" to free the men. <P>De la Crux, a 46-year-old father of eight, arrived back in the Philippines yesterday. He said he was still too shocked by his two-week ordeal to say how it had affected him. <P>"I am sorry, I can't answer you because I am still confused and I want to spend time with my family," he told a news conference, obviously, dazed by his transformation from an unknown truck-driver to a household name and symbol of the eight million Filipinos working overseas to support their families back home. <P>Meanwhile, the corpse of a decapitated Westerner was also found in Iraq yesterday and Sofia said it was investigating whether the body was one of two Bulgarians seized by militants loyal to al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. <P>Iraqi police said the head and body of the decapitated Westerner were found near Baiji, 180 km (112 miles) north of Baghdad, and taken to the city of Tikrit. Earlier this month, another headless body in an orange jump-suit was found in the Tigris river in the same area. It has yet to be identified. <P>The two Bulgarians, Georgi Lazov and Ivailo Kepov, were seized as they delivered cars to Mosul in northern Iraq. Al-Zarqawi's group has already executed an American and a South Korean hostage, and has claimed responsibility for a series of suicide bomb attacks in Iraq. <P>"We are officially looking into the situation and are checking if the body is one of the Bulgarian hostages. We are trying to confirm this," Bulgarian foreign ministry spokeswoman Vicky Melamed, said in Sofia. <P>On Wednesday, U.S. marines killed 25 guerrillas, wounded 17 and captured 25 during hours of fighting in the western city of Ramadi, the American military said in a statement. <P>It said 13 U.S. marines and one soldier were wounded in the clashes but none of the injuries were life-threatening. <P>Marines said the Ramadi clashes began in the afternoon when guerrillas detonated a roadside bomb near a U.S. convey and then opened fire with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. Fighting spread, with an estimated 100 insurgents involved. <P>In Baghdad, Iraqi police raided Haifa Street, considered a guerrilla stronghold, early yesterday, the Ministry said. It said 200 suspects and a large quantity of weapons were seized during the raid.` <P></P></FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- End table 4 --></TD></TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=top></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> <P align=center>� 2003 - 2004 @ Guardian Newspapers Limited (All Rights Reserved).<BR><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; TEXT-DECORATION: none">&nbsp;Powered by <A style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: none" onclick=dmClick=1; href="http://www.dnetsystems.net" target=_blank>dnetsystems.net</A> <FONT color=red>d<FONT color=blue>n</FONT>e<FONT color=blue>t</FONT></FONT>� </FONT></P></BODY></HTML>
