Iraqi Official: Kidnapped Sheiks Freed

Thank the Lord that these guys are free! I am also pleasantly shocked to read that the group refused to separate by religion and allow for another sectarian blood bath.Things are starting to come together! They just need more time to work things out.

Iraqi Official: Kidnapped Sheiks Freed: "A group of Sunni and Shiite sheiks seized from their cars in Baghdad have been released, said Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Askari, a Defense Ministry spokesman. He declined to specify how many or give more details. Police and relatives have identified the tribal leaders abducted in Baghdad as seven Shiites and three Sunnis who were on their way home to Diyala province after a meeting with a government official in the capital. Police said late Sunday they had found the bullet-riddled body of one of the Sunni sheiks, Mishaan Hilan, about 50 yards away from where the ambush took place, an officer said, adding that the victim was identified after his mobile phone was found on him. The U.S. military on Monday said a rogue Shiite militia leader was responsible."
