"A plane which carries Nae’em al-Kaud, a member of Anbar provincial council, has landed safely at Baghdad international airport coming from Turkey early Friday," a source, who preferred to be unnamed, told Baghdad Today.

Al-Kaud had been kidnapped last week in Turkey along with one of his bodyguards before having been released Thursday.

Hamid al-Elwani, the chairman of Anbar province council, told Almaalomah news website that Kaud had been duped by a group pretending to be investors from a neighboring country, and lured him away towards an unknown destination.

The identity of his kidnappers has not been revealed yet.

Al-Kaud also serves as head of the security committee in Anbar provincial council.
