Deal Reportedly Reached for Release of Five Britons Held in Iraq

Five Britons held captive for nearly two years in Iraq may be close to gaining their freedom as a deal has reportedly been reached with the kidnappers.

According to a report in The Guardian the kidnappers, a Shia group known as Leagues of the Righteous, agreed to release one hostage for every ten Sadrist militants currently detained.

The deal was said to involve Britain as well as the U.S. which will allegedly release several militants currently held in Iraq.

All five British hostages have been held since May 2007 after nearly 40 gunmen stormed Baghdad’s Finance Ministry. Talks to secure their release had stalled over time but it is believed the militant group wanted the situation over and agreed to the most recent terms, said to have been brokered by Iraqis.

While a deal has reportedly been reached there has been no confirmation from the UK or the U.S. and if an agreement is in place it could still take weeks for the hostages to actually be released.
