WASHINGTON (AP) - An American prisoner of war has been rescued in Iraq, a U.S. official said Tuesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. Central Command was announcing the rescue in Qatar later Tuesday.

The Pentagon has listed seven Americans as captured by Iraq since the outbreak of the war.

The official said the rescue involved one of the seven.

The development came as American ground troops battled Republican Guard troops around Karbala, a holy Shiite Muslim city about 50 miles south of Baghdad. It was unknown whether the fighting was related to the POW situation.
