Iraq detainees to be freed early

Link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4624716.stm

Snip: <Iraq's ministry of justice has told the BBC that six of the eight women being held by coalition forces in Iraq are to be released early.

The six will be freed because there is insufficient evidence to charge them, a justice ministry spokesman said.

The US forces have refused to confirm the releases, but say they would not be based on any operational activities.

The group holding US journalist Jill Carroll has said she will die unless all Iraqi women prisoners are freed. >
