THEY ARE FREE!
Still Officially Unconfirmed reports say that the three Romanian journalists kidnapped in Iraq eight days ago have been freed.
Some undisclosed well informed sources confirmed that the journalists are FREE - Antena 1 and ProTv reported.
"Other related actions are under way in Bucharest and Baghdad. Any other information at this time would risk efforts to rescue the kidnapped journalists." presidency spokeswoman, Adriana Saftoiu, told reporters on Tuesday.
Saftoiu denied reports by Romanian media, quoting anonymous sources, on Tuesday evening that the reporters had been freed.
"The information is not true. I deny it," she told Reuters
The same sources said that in Baghdad were arrested some involved individuals, including one of Mohamed Munaf's brothers.
Mile Carpenisan said in a late report from Baghdad, last night, view it HERE, that the Romanian journalists are free under the US and UK Secret Services protection.
It seems that in Baghdad was some kind of an 'commando assault' witch ended with the arrest of Munaf's brother and, probably with the rescue and liberation of the Romanian journalists.
Adrian Ursu confirmed here that there was a surveillance in Baghdad for a couple of days and finally, tonight, there was an American style commando assault.
It seems that the Romanian plane I was telling you about yesterday was meant to transport some surveillance instruments and technique, if not the three journalists themselves.
Since the three Romanians might be in the US and/or UK Secret Services custody the Romanian authorities can not confirm yet their freedom.
The Presidency said that 'they can not Confirm this'
Anyways,Thanks for the professionalism of the Allied Secret Services and for the American way to solve such crisis.
If they are not 'freed' I sure hope so they will be soon.
Negotiaition or assault, either way, we want them back home alive!
And I am eagger to find out what realy happend there and what are the connections with Ommar Hayssam and other local influent individuals from Bucharest...
Businessman Omar Hayssam has funded the three journalists' trip to Baghdad and claimed he was contacted by the kidnappers to pay ransom. A crony of the former PSD government, he has long been suspected for illegal economic activities...
GOD BLESS!
