Gunmen have kidnapped at least 26 Qatari hunters in a desert area of Iraq near the Saudi border, officials say.
The attackers were driving "about 50" four-wheel drive vehicles when they swept into the hunters' camp at dawn on Wednesday, an Iraqi source told the BBC's Arabic service. They struck in the Layyah area, 130km south of Samawa, after arriving from Nasiriya province, the source said.
A wide-scale search has been launched for the attackers, police say.
