"Special forces free Iraq hostages

"Three Italians kidnapped in Iraq almost two months ago have been rescued in a mission by military special forces. A Polish man abducted a week ago was also released. All four men are said to be in good health.

The Italians were captured on 12 April with a compatriot, Fabrizio Quattrocchi - whose killing was videotaped by his captors. "
While right now its not on the front page, I think I saw it there before today. This is a cut and paste from Yahoo's "Top Stories" section when you click on one of the links for Iraq stories and obtain all the recent Iraq stories in chronological order:
