| Photo Credit: AFPThe whereabouts of 39 Indians who were working in the war-torn Iraqi city Mosul have been unknown for three years now. Thousands of Indians living in Iraq fled the country during 2014 as the Islamic State advanced. Ms. Swaraj said she has "six other sources" telling her that the Indians are still alive. Singh, during his recent visit to Iraq, got information that the abducted Indians were at the Badush prison in Iraq. The Islamic State has so far not claimed any responsibility for the abduction, nor have they claimed to have killed the Indians.
