Norman Kember is Free!
This just announced by the BBC...
One British and two Canadian peace activists held hostage in Iraq have been freed in an operation by multinational forces.
Norman Kember, 74, of Pinner, north-west London, was seized in Baghdad with two Canadians and an American in November.
Canadians James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden were also freed in the operation on Thursday.
The body of US citizen Tom Fox was found in Baghdad earlier this month.

I feel rather distrubed to hear that Norman, Harmeet Singh Sooden and James Loney were freed in a military operation. I know that the three men would not have wanted anyone to have been harmed or killed in the process of freeing them. Nonetheless, I am delighted to hear that they are free and in reasonable health.
I am also deeply sad that Tom Fox will no be returning home with them. Tom was killed by his captors, and his body was found in Bagdhad on 12 March 2006. May the peace of God be with Tom's family.
