snips:
"Reuters demands the immediate release of Haider Kadhem," Global Managing Editor David Schlesinger said.

"We fail to understand what reason there can be for his continued detention more than a day after he was the innocent victim of an incident in which his colleague was killed."

"A U.S. statement said: "Task Force Baghdad units responded to a terrorist attack on an Iraqi Police convoy ... which killed and wounded several Iraqi Police. One civilian was killed and another was wounded by small-arms fire during the attack."
