Ericsson workers kidnapped after being sent to negotiate with IS

When IS seized Iraq’s second-city, Mosul, in June 2014, a senior Ericsson lawyer recommended shutting down the company’s operation in Iraq, but senior managers ignored this, the report found. They felt such an action was “premature”, and would “destroy” Ericsson’s business in the country, the document says.
