American forces liberated more than two hundred hostages yesterday in villages in the district of Muqdadiya the majority of which are Iraqi police.
In Diyala police source who wished to remain anonymous confirmed that American forces repositioned in the villages and Ashakragh Sensl close to the town of Muqdadiya carried out raids, searches and range of regions and the surrounding orchards.
He added that the American forces had found several prisons belonging to al-Qaeda and containing more than two hundred abducted hostages. The source explained that the majority of the abductees are the elements of the police who had been abducted at different times and over a period of months.

I looked for this on Google News and couldn't find any other stories yet. That's typical of the media blackout on good news in Iraq.

That's a big intel asset as well. Those 200 probably saw and heard a lot. They can give some insight on how they got taken hostage as well.

I guess thats how they were able to pull off some of the attacks wearing Iraqi police uniforms..
Also those being held have lost any and all sympathy they ever had for the terrorists

Hope they took pictures of the conditions the hostages were being kept in.

I read the original Arabic text and the translation in English as posted above is accurate. This an Iraqi Shia website and it is seems to be pro-US as I have read some of the headlines and that is a good thing to read. Notice that they do not use American occupation forces or any of typical BS, but rather American forces and they use words like The American forces LIBERATED
, it is good to read stuff like this.

American forces liberate more than 200 abducted in Muqdadiya There is one glaring omission in this story and others like it. It is frustrating and angering and... GGGGRRRRRrrrrrrrrr!
How can 200 hostages be liberated without finding and killing any of the killers involved?
How much infrastructure is necessary to kidnap and hold that many policemen?
My gut feeling is several times that "200" figure.
Without killing the rats, the kidnappings and murders will continue forever!

I read the original Arabic text and the translation in English as posted above is accurate.That is an intruguing statement.
Can you share with us how you came to know Arabic well enough to verify a translation?
I have often been tempted to learn it, for the benefit of learning cuss words and insults, if nothing else...
