Iraq: Hostages freed
Edited on Sun Aug-01-04 09:45 AM by cal04
Seven hostages, including three Kenyans, who have been held in Iraq for 11 days have been released, Kenyan Foreign Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere said on Sunday.

"We have received information that all the hostages, including the three Kenyans, three Indians and an Egyptian, were released between 30 minutes and an hour ago," Mwakwere said.

"They are in safe hands now, and senior Kenyan foreign ministry official, Yusuf Nzibo, is in Kuwait to await their arrival there and receive them," he added.
``The ministry was not sitting back but was negotiating hard and has succeeded in the release of the three Kenyans,'' Foreign Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere told a news conference. He added that the remaining hostages -- three Indians and one Egyptian -- had also been freed.
