Iraq Group Says Releases Eight Hostages - TV

DUBAI (Reuters) - Eight foreign hostages held in Iraq (news - web sites) have been released, a masked man said on a videotape aired by an Arabic television station said on Sunday.

"We have released them in response to a call from the Muslim Clerics Association...after we were sure that they will not deal with the occupation forces again," the man said in the tape on Qatar-based Al Jazeera, which showed the hostages.

They were three from Pakistan, two Turks, an Indian, a Nepali and one from the Philippines.

released though, I wonder what is going on with them.

EDIT: I see from another post that the Japanese have apparently been released, so that is good news too.
