Seven hostages released
18 are still held captive

It's how you
get there!
Kidnappers released two female
Italian aid workers and five other
hostages Tuesday, raising hopes for
at least 18 foreigners still in captiv
ity. But insurgents showed no sign
of easing their blood-soaked cam
paign against the U.S. presence in
Iraq, staging a show of defiance in
Samarra and striking twice with
deadly force in Basra.
It was unclear what prompted
the two separate groups of kid
nappers to release the Italians,
three Egyptians and two Iraqis,
and whether any ransom had been
paid. It was the second day in a
row that foreigners were freed.
The Italian women were wear
ing full black veils that revealed
only their eyes as they were re
ceived by the Italian Red Cross
in a Baghdad neighborhood, ac
cording to video broadcast by the
Arab news station Al-Jazeera.
Looking dazed but smiling,
Simona Torretta lifted her veil
and repeated, “Thank you,” in
Arabic. Simona Pari hesitated
before also lifting her veil.
Later Tuesday, the two women
were flown home aboard a Falcon
20 plane, amiving at a military
airport in Rome shortly after
p.m. The two, now in long.wf
dresses, emerged smiling andki
hands as they walked on then

Asked by reporters how si
felt. Pari just said, “Good.”

The Kuwaiti newspaper AIT
