BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Kidnappers have released the Iraqi civilian spokesman for the Baghdad security plan four days after his abduction, his family told Iraqi authorities Monday. Tahseen Sheikhly was seized Thursday at his home by a force of dozens of gunmen, who killed three of the spokesman’s bodyguards and burned down the house, Iraqi authorities said. A relative told the Interior Ministry that he had been released Monday, an Interior Ministry official told CNN. A high-ranking official with Iraq’s Defense Ministry confirmed the report, but provided no further details. |
