MOSUL, IRAQ (May 23, 2005) – Two kidnapped Iraqi citizens were rescued thanks to another citizen who led Multi-National Force Soldiers to the house where they were being held captive in northern Iraq today.

A Joint Coordination Center official and a local merchant were discovered in the basement of the house in northeastern Mosul. They had been held there for 58 days after being kidnapped by terrorists. The two citizens were taken to a local hospital for treatment. One individual was detained at the house where the kidnapped citizens were rescued. The suspect is in custody with no MNF injuries reported.

This rescue represents the increasingly positive state of cooperation between citizens, who are taking back their communities and Iraqi Security Forces who are growing in their abilities to secure their communities.
