Smile British hostage Norman Kember released

Fantastic news......

British hostage Norman Kember and two Canadian colleagues have been freed in Iraq.

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has already spoken to Mr Kember's wife Pat. "She is delighted, elated with this news," he said.

Mr Kember is in reasonable health, but the two Canadians are believed to have received medical attention.

The three were rescued in a military operation which involved British forces.

Great news. If it had involved American forces I think the story probably would have read rather differently.
