Simona and Simona Are Free
Simona Pari and Simona Torretta, who were kidnapped fron their Baghdad office on the 7th of September, have been freed by their captors.
Two Iraqi aid workers, Raad Ali Aziz and Mahnaz Bassam, kidnapped alongside the two Simona's, were also freed.
All were treated well by their captors apparently. One could argue that is a contradiction of terms, but there you go.
