A member of the Qatari royal family and a Pakistani have been released by kidnappers in Iraq after nearly four months in captivity, the Qatari Foreign Ministry has said.
The pair were among more than 20 people abducted from a desert hunting party close to the Saudi border last December.
The ministry initially announced “the release of a Qatari citizen and his Asian companion who were kidnapped in Iraq.” “Efforts are still ongoing to free the rest of the 26 kidnapped,” a brief statement published on the official QNA news agency said.
A source said that talks were continuing with Iraq to try to secure the release of the remaining hostages.
