Gunmen have abducted at least 80 Iraqi factory workers from a fleet of buses just north of Baghdad, officials say.
The abduction took place at a state-owned factory complex at Taji where dozens of insurgents commandeered buses taking employees home after work.
A source quoted by Reuters news agency said the number of those kidnapped was at least 100 and possibly many more.
It is the latest of a series of mass abductions of workers in Iraq, many of whom have been ransomed or killed.
