Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Kong Quan expressed Tuesday China's deep concern over the kidnapping of eight Chinese nationals in Iraq.

"China's Foreign Ministry is taking all measures to rescue the hostages," the spokesman told reporters in Beijing.

The Chinese Embassy in Baghdad confirmed on Tuesday that eight Chinese nationals were kidnapped by militants in Iraq, pledging that the Chinese government would spare no effort to secure their release.

Embassy diplomats said they were making all efforts to rescue the eight hostages, who went missing last week while travelling to Jordan.

China Central Television (CCTV) reported staff from China's embassy in Baghdad were in contact with Muslim clerics in hopes of effecting the release of the eight.

The eight kidnapped persons are ordinary Chinese citizens who went to Iraq on individual basis to seek jobs by themselves in the country, Kong said.

Since they failed to find any work, they rent an automobile to leave Iraq but were kidnapped on the way, he added. "The Chinese people has always cherished friendly feelings toward the Iraqi people and sympathized and supported them," Kong said.

"From beginning to end, the Chinese government has also, in dealing with the Iraq issue, placed emphasis on the protection of the basic interests of the Iraqi people," he said.

Sources told Xinhua the Chinese, from China's eastern province of Fujian, were construction workers in a project to rebuild an Iraqi plant in the southern Iraqi city of Najaf. The eight went missing last week while travelling to Jordan, according to the sources.

They said the project, signed with Iraq's interim government,has nothing to do with the US-led multinational forces. A video tape aired by the al-Jazeera TV channel on Tuesday showed the eight hostages holding Chinese passports standing in a row, flanked by masked militants.

The pan-Arab channel did not release the text all at once, but part of the statement read out by one militant indicated that the group could free the hostages on condition that they "will quit their work with the occupation forces."

In a handwritten note delivered with the tape, the insurgent group calling itself al-Numan Brigades threatened to "kill the eight within 48 hours" unless China meet their demands.

It is not China's first brush with Middle Eastern terrorism. Seven Chinese nationals were taken hostage in April last year, but released shortly afterwards.

It was widely believed that the previous incident was a case of mistaken identity, and that the hostage-takers had thought they were from either Japan or South Korea, both countries that have supported US policies in Iraq.

The incident highlights the growing risks China faces as it tries to engage ever more closely with the rest of the world, sending its people to all corners of the globe in search of jobs.
