Official: Nepalese hostage in Iraq freed and safe
A Nepalese worker who was taken hostage in Iraq this week has been freed and is safe in Baghdad, Nepalese official said. "We have received confirmation through our diplomats and the employers of the Nepali worker that he has been freed by the hostage takers," Nepal's Foreign Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat said. Mahat, who was in United Arab Emirates, said in a telephone interview that he was still trying to contact Inus Kawari, 27, but was assured by his employers in Baghdad and Saudi Arabia that he was safe. Mahat said Inus has been taken to the airport in Baghdad. It was not immediately clear when Inus was freed and who had taken him hostage. Unidentified assailants abducted him along with an American, a Filipino and three Iraqis after storming the compound of a Saudi company in Baghdad. |
