DUBAI (Reuters) - Suspected militants have kidnapped an Iraqi intelligence officer in response to the fighting in the holy city of Najaf, Al Jazeera television reported on Tuesday.

The channel showed footage of a man standing between two masked men. It said they were militants who had identified themselves as "the Brigades of Defense Against Holy Sites."

There was no audio, but Al Jazeera said the militants said they had kidnapped the officer in response to the fighting in Najaf.
