3 Kidnapped Americans Freed in Baghdad

Three Americans who were reportedly kidnapped last month in Iraq have been released, officials said Tuesday. The men were allegedly taken from an apartment building in southern Baghdad. The nabbed men were reportedly working for a company under contract with the U.S. Army. In a statement, U.S. State Department deputy spokesperson Mark Toner said, “We sincerely appreciate the assistance provided by the government of Iraq, and its whole-of-government effort to bring about the safe release of these individuals.”
