Report: Iraqi Guard Members Released

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Eighteen Iraqi National Guard members held hostage have been released, the Arab television station Al-Jazeera said Monday.

The station showed a videotape of men who were apparently the soldiers. The men had shed their combat fatigues and were now in traditional white robes, clutching Qurans.

The videotape had no audio.

The announcer said that a member of the group holding the men, the Brigades of Mohammed bin Abdullah, read a statement that said the release came in response to a demand by rebel Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

The news reader also said that the statement offered a warning to all who cooperate with those it called the forces occupying Iraq.
