Ping. Check the original source.
The Burtha News Agency is the offical agency of the SCIRI.
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.
