BUCHAREST - The appeals court in Bucharest on Friday issued a warrant for the arrest on terrorism charges of Mohamed Munaf, the Iraqi guide of three Romanian journalists who were held hostage in Iraq for 55 days.

The court said the warrant would allow the authorities to detain Munaf for 29 days while they investigated him for “terrorism”, and that it had issued a second, similar warrant for Romanian businessman Omar Hayssam.

Munaf and Hayssam are both suspected by Romanian state prosecutors of having colluded with the kidnappers of the journalists, a group calling themselves the Muadh Ibn Jabal Brigade.
