BAGHDAD: A militant group holding three Kenyans, three Indians and an Egyptian hostage dropped nearly all their demands and will released the men if their Kuwaiti trucking company agrees to stop working in Iraq, according to a video shown on Al-Arabiya television Thursday. The video showed the seven men sitting on the ground while a voice offscreen read a statement. The voice said that the militant group, calling itself "The Holders of the Black Banners," would drop nearly all their demands in response to an appeal from India's ambassador here. The seven truck drivers will be released if their Kuwaiti company announces it is stopping business here and will withdraw all its employees.
