American journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was kidnapped in Baghdad, Iraq, on March 31, has been released by her abductors, according to the Iraqi militia group Hezbollah Brigades.
Abu Mujahid al-Assaf, a security official with Hezbollah Brigades, also known as Kataib Hezbollah, announced that Kittleson was released on the condition that “she leaves the country immediately.”
In a post on social media, al-Assaf said, “This initiative will not be repeated again in the coming days, as we are in a state of war waged by the Zionist-American enemy against Islam, and in such cases many considerations fall away.”
