ABU GHRAIB, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi insurgents said they had seized four Italians and two Americans on the western outskirts of Baghdad on Friday.
A Reuters journalist saw two captive foreigners, said by the insurgents to be Italians, being hauled into a mosque in a village in the Abu Ghraib district.

One was wounded in the left shoulder, apparently from a gunshot. Both were weeping. They were wearing close-fitting dark blue t-shirts.

The men called out "Italians, Italians" as they were hauled into the mosque by Sunni insurgents.

The men were muscular with dark hair and looked European. The Reuters journalist only saw two of them, but the insurgents said they took four.

The abductors said the captured men had been well armed, and that a sniper rifle and other weapons had been found in their vehicle.

The insurgents, many of them masked, said they had seized the men after stopping their vehicle on a road near Abu Ghraib. Other militants among the group of 30-40 said they had earlier taken two others who they said were Americans.

The mosque was heavily guarded by about 40 men armed with rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 assault rifles and other weapons. Most of them were wearing masks on their faces.

Italy's ambassador in Iraq and Italian military authorities said they had no information about any Italians being abducted. U.S. military authorities did not immediately have any information about any of their personnel being seized.

U.S. soldiers in a tank in the area near the village of al-Dhahab al-Abyad said they knew some Americans and other foreigners had been taken hostage, but had no details.

"That's why we are sealing off the road," said one soldier.
