'Technical hitches' delay release of kidnapped Brit journo
| Lemme guess: Technically, not enough zeros on the end of the forthcoming cashier's cheque... |
"Technical hitches" have delayed the release of a British journalist kidnapped in Iraq's southern city of Basra, a Shiite militia negotiating the release said on Saturday. "The negotiations are continuing with the kidnappers. We hope to resolve the crisis as soon as possible," said Harith al-Adhari, director of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's office in Basra. "Technical problems have delayed the release of the British journalist," Adhari told AFP. "We thought the release would take place on Thursday, but because of these technical problems this did not happen. We will continue to negotiate until we find a solution as quickly as possible."
