Swedish hostage in Iraq ‘freed’

Let’s see… he’s an Iraqi (with Swedish citizenship), so the thugs in Iraq are again preying on their own. His captors threatened to kill him unless they received a hefty ransom. Now he’s free but no one is admitting whether or not a ransom was paid.

Yeah, convenient.

A Swedish citizen of Iraqi descent has been released after being taken hostage in Iraq in late January, reports say.

[…]

Mr Yussufi had appeared in two video appeals, asking Sweden’s King and the Pope to intervene to save his life.

He said his captors, the Iraqi Revenge Brigades-Martyrs of al-Isawy Company, threatened to execute him unless they were paid $4m (£3m) ransom.
