...Meanwhile, on Thursday, the civilian spokesman for the Baghdad security plan, Tahsin al-Sheikhili, was kidnapped from his home by gunmen. A source in Iraq's Ministry of Information told TIME that Sheikhli's bodyguards were overwhelmed by a dozen men armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles. Two of the bodyguards were killed and one wounded in the fighting; Sheikhli's family believes his captors are members of a Mahdi Army splinter group. With reporting by Abigail Hauslohner/Baghdad
