WELL, THIS IS A SWITCH: “Militants in Iraq said Sunday they took a top Iranian diplomat hostage, according to a video shown on the Arab-language Al-Arabiya television station. . . . The kidnappers, calling themselves the ‘Islamic Army in Iraq’, accused Jihani of provoking sectarian war in Iraq and warned Iran not to interfere in Iraq’s affairs, according to Al-Arabiya.”

UPDATE: And a warrant for Chalabi’s arrest, too. No doubt unrelated.
