Amjad ready to fly home

KUWAIT CITY: Pakistani Amjad Hafeez, who was released after being held hostage for eight days in Iraq is due to return home by Thursday, his employers said in Kuwait.

“Hafeez will try to leave today (Wednesday) if we can book a flight for him. If not, he is definitely leaving tomorrow,” a company spokesman said.

Hafeez was abducted while walking in the city after leaving the company’s camp for the first time.

He told the English-language Arab Times that his captors, who initially threatened to kill him, told him they released him because of his mother’s appeals and because he was a Muslim. afp
