If
this report is true it will lead to many more hostages:
BAGHDAD — A senior Iraqi foreign ministry official said on Tuesday that the government was "intensively" seeking release of five Iranians detained by the U.S. military more than two months ago in northern Iraq.
"We are intensively seeking the release of the five Iranians," the senior official said.
"This will be a factor that will help in the release of the British sailors and marines" held by Iran since March 25.
It saddens me that we would allow Iran to get away with this:
The Iranian diplomat who was released on Monday was kidnapped in mysterious circumstances two months ago.
Iranian authorities reported the release of Jalal Sharafi, the second secretary at the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, and said he would return to Tehran later Tuesday.
An official at the Iranian embassy confirmed Sharafi's release, but said he did not know who was responsible for freeing him.
Prepare for more of this kind of thing to take place. If they get by with it once, they are bound to try it again.
