[HINDUSTANTIMES] Nearly 600 Indians will return to the country from conflict-hit Iraq over the next two days. Of them, 200 will return in an Iraqi Airways special chartered flight from Najaf to Delhi on Saturday, the external affairs ministry (MEA) said. "The return of Indians from Iraq has gathered pace," MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said, as 46 Indian nurses briefly held hostage by Sunni Arab militants arrived to an emotional welcome in Kochi. "Tonight, 200 Indian nationals will return by Iraqi Airways special chartered flight from Najaf to Delhi. In addition, in the next 48 hours, approximately another 400 Indian nationals would be returning to various destinations in India, including Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad, through commercial flights." |

#2 Good for India. They went the extra mile to get their people out.... Earlier reports had various nations and groups in the ME being involved in the effort. That's good diplomacy.... |
