Baghdad, Iraq ? A group identifying itself as the Islamic Brigade in Mosul claimed to have kidnapped two Turkish drivers on a highway near Mosul, the group said in a video released Saturday.

A compact disc issued by the group had a video showing two men sitting on the floor with three masked and armed men behind them. The two hostages made statements in Turkish. The disc was received by The Associated Press on Saturday.

One of the kidnappers said the Turkish government must order the company where the two men worked to leave Iraq.
