Peshmerga troops arrested on Friday six militants in northern Iraq for kidnapping six people.
The hijackers were arrested during an attempt to transfer the abducted to an unidentified place.
The Abducted include four Arabs and two Kurds, according a security source.
The initial investigations show that the six were kidnapped three months ago and held for a ransom, said the source.
The abduction attempts have become common in Iraq after the Peshmerga and Iraqi troops managed to to restore control over the northern parts of the state.
