Freed hostage 'was treated well'

AMERICAN reporter Jill Carroll, who was kidnapped three months ago in an ambush that killed her translator, was released from captivity yesterday and said she had not been harmed.

Ms Carroll, 28, was dropped off near offices of the Iraqi Islamic Party, the main Sunni political organisation.

"I was treated well, but I don't know why I was kidnapped," she told Baghdad television.
