British journalist freed in Iraq

Militants in the southern city of Basra on Friday released a British journalist they had kidnapped and threatened to kill after aides to militant Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr demanded he be freed. The journalist, James Brandon, was brought to al-Sadr’s local office and freed. He held an impromptu news conference there.
