Freed Guardian journalist wants to work on in Iraq
Surprise, surprise! Figured out he was one of them! Caught via LGF
Guardian journalist Rory Carroll, freed on Thursday after 36 hours in the hands of Baghdad kidnappers, said he wanted to go on reporting on Iraq. "The next move is unclear but I would like to report on Iraq in the future," the 33-year-old correspondent for the London newspaper told Reuters by telephone shortly after his release.
He said he did not know who was responsible for snatching him on Wednesday; Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi was present when he was released after a day and a half in darkness. "I don't know who took me," Carroll said. "I was released about an hour ago. I'm fine. I was treated reasonably well," he added. "I spent the last 36 hours in the dark. I was released into the hands of Dr. Chalabi."
Another reason not to trust Chabbers. | The Guardian had claimed said Carroll, who has been in Baghdad since January, was allegedly seized as he left the home of a Shi'ite Muslim family who had suffered under Saddam Hussein and were watching the first day of his trial on television.
