Muslim association says no reason to believe the worst

Contrary to reports on the Internet, two Italian aid workers taken hostage 
in Iraq are probably still alive.
A spokesman for the influential Association of Muslim Scholars (AMS) said on 
Thursday that Simona Pari and Simona Torretta were being held by a group 
that has no relation to the resistance.
Speaking to journalists at the committee's headquarters in Baghdad's Umm 
al-Qura mosque, spokesman Muthana al-Dhari explained why he did not think 
the two women were dead "because the material gain from holding them is 
big".

"I have my doubts about the whole operation from the start because the style 
and method all indicate that the kidnappers are an organised gang with no 
connection to the resistance."
