Iraqis arrested over journalist's kidnap

The US military says it has arrested four Iraqi men in connection with the abduction of the Christian Science Monitor journalist Jill Carroll, who was held in Iraq for 82 days. The American reporter was kidnapped in Baghdad in January and released in March. Her Iraqi interpreter was shot dead. A US military spokesman, Major General William Caldwell, said the arrests took place after a young officer became suspicious. His action also led to the release of two hostages. (Via bbc.co.uk)
