| Family lauds release of Iraqi-American contractor |
| 2010-03-28 |
| The Pentagon said Saturday that Salomi was back under U.S. military control but gave no details on his disappearance or return. The family says he is expected to arrive at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio within a week. Asaib Ahl al-Haq, known in English as the League of the Righteous, said the four were freed "in response to our demands following the capture of the American officer" — a reference to Salomi, who was not identified by name. The statement's authenticity could not be verified but it was posted on a Web site commonly used by the group. Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said Sunday he had "no information that anyone was released in return" for Salomi. |
