The Sudanese government has announced it is shutting its embassy in Baghdad, in an apparent bid to win the release of five kidnapped embassy staff.

It follows a web statement attributed to al-Qaeda in Iraq, in which the group said it had the hostages and demanded Sudan cut diplomatic ties with Baghdad.

A Sudanese foreign ministry spokesman said the embassy would close on Friday.
