Three journalists who returned to Romania after nearly two months in captivity in Iraq will be allowed home today after spending three days in quarantine, the president’s office said.

Landing on Romanian soil after nearly two months in captivity in Iraq, journalist Marie Jeanne Ion tugged off her yellow headscarf today and ran across the tarmac into her younger sister’s arms.

Three Romanian journalists kidnapped in Iraq are expected to return home later today, a day after their release.
