A British reporter and his Iraqi translator, both working for CBS, were led away from their hotel by a gang of 10 gunmen on Sunday. Security forces have launched an "intensive operation" to try and find them, but so far, no luck.

The Guardian is reporting that one person has been detained on 'suspicion' of being involved in the raid, however any further developments are yet to be reported.
More worryingly, the news of the kidnapping came as the bullet-riddled body of a young Iraqi journalist was found on the streets of Baghdad, two days after he had left his office to buy supplies.
Here's hoping CBS's reporters don't suffer the same fate.
