DUBAI APRIL 1. All contact with the Indian Embassy in Baghdad has been cut off and there was no information on some 14 Indians living in various parts of Iraq, India's ambassador to Iraq, B. B. Tyagi has said.

"Telephone communication with Baghdad had been cut off some two days ago and we have no contact with the Indian embassy there," Mr. Tyagi told PTI over telephone from the Jordanian capital, Amman. "We believe that the three nuns from Kerala working at an orphanage in Baghdad are fine as that area reportedly has not come under attack so far," he said. — PTI
