The workers were taken in the northeastern district of Habibiya, ministry spokesman Brigadier General Saad Maan told Reuters.
Officials say the 16 are employed by a Turkish construction company contracted to build a sports complex in the sprawling Shia district of Sadr City. he kidnappers stormed the construction site, where the workers were sleeping in caravans, and disarmed the guards before taking the workers away.
