CAMP TAJI, Iraq – Iraqi Army troops rescued a kidnapping victim Jan. 10 near the village of As Sayyid Taha, Iraq.
 
Working on a tip, Iraqi troops from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 9th Iraqi Army Division (Mechanized) searched for the kidnapping victim’s vehicle.  They discovered it on a farm. Upon conducting a cordon and search of the farm, the soldiers found the kidnapped Iraqi in a farmhouse unharmed, with his hands tied.

After contacting the man’s family and once his relatives had arrived to pick him up, the Iraqi troops released the man into their care.  His stolen vehicle was returned to him.

An investigation continues, as the Iraqi Army looks to find the persons responsible for the kidnapping.
