The Czech Foreign Ministry has said announced that three Czech journalists held in Iraq have been freed.
"They are alive, healthy and are in good physical condition at the Czech embassy in Baghdad," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Vit Kolar.
The three journalists - Michal Kubal and Petr Klima from Czech Television and Vit Pohanka from Czech Radio - went missing near Falluja on Sunday when their taxi was pulled over and they were forced out at gunpoint.
