U.S. Journalist Held in Iraq Is Released
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - U.S. journalist Micah Garen, who was kidnapped in Iraq more than a week ago, was released Sunday in the southern city of Nasiriyah. Garen spoke to Al-Jazeera television, confirming his release. Garen was interviewed by telephone by the station moments after an aide to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said the American had been released. Garen thanked al-Sadr's representatives in Nasiriyah and everyone else who worked to secure his release.
"Yeah, thanks Tater, ya fat sack of ... dung!"
Garen and his Iraqi translator, Amir Doushi, were walking through a market in Nasiriyah on Aug. 13 when two armed men in civilian clothes seized them, police said. Doushi also was freed, said an aide to al-Sadr, Sheik Aws al-Khafaji.
