BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces have released Saadoun Hammadi, former Iraqi parliament speaker and a long-time aide to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), after nine months in custody, witnesses said Monday.


A guard outside Hammadi's house in Baghdad said he had returned home Saturday. He said he looked frail.

"He came home and his health is not bad, but he is tired right now and does not want to see or talk to anyone," he said.
