BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Insurgents have released nine hostages of various nationalities, including Turks and Pakistanis, said a spokesman for Islamic clerics who appealed for the releases.

The spokesman said he had no word on three Japanese civilians still being held.


"We believe that nine were released last night or today,'' said Muthanna Harith, spokesman for Islamic Clerics Committee. "We know nothing about the Japanese."
