A wave of hostages have been freed in Iraq in the last 24 hours.
They include two Italian women taken hostage in Iraq earlier this month and there are reports that an agreement has been reached to free two French journalists.
Two Iraqis who were captured with the Italian women have also been freed.
Link Via Laughing Wolf, who has been following this one. He promises more as it develops, so check his site.
It would be surprising if they were not violated nevertheless.

10 to 1 says that a “militant/freedom fighter” (read terrorist) leader had a 9MM to the back of his head which led to the release of the hostages.
Any takers???
Somebody over there is doing something right. one can only hope that the trigger was pulled after the release.
