ANKARA, Nov 13 (Reuters) - A Turkish man kidnapped by an Iraqi militant group several months ago has been found dead near Baghdad's airport, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
The Brigades of the Lions of Righteousness kidnapped Yildirim Tek on July 23 in Iraq. In September the little-known group said it would kill Tek within 72 hours unless Ankara forced his company to shut down its operations in Iraq."
