Sometimes a ray of hope in weeks, innocent Iraqis are slaughtered by the sectarian violence.
BAGHDAD, Iraq Mar 23, 2006 (ABC/AP)– A coalition force freed three Christian peace activists taken hostage in Iraq, ending a four-month hostage drama in which an American among the group was shot to death and dumped on a Baghdad street.
The Iraqi Interior Ministry said the captives were rescued in the joint U.S.-British operation in rural area northwest of Baghdad, between the towns of Mishahda, 20 miles north of Baghdad, and the western suburb of Abu Ghraib, 12 miles from downtown.
