APBAGHDAD - A kidnapped British journalist was rescued by Iraqi troops on Monday after two months in captivity in the southern city of Basra, a military commander said.
Richard Butler, who worked for CBS News, was found with a sack over his head and his hands tied inside a house in Basra, Lt. Gen. Mohan al-Fireji said. He said Butler was in good condition.
Butler was kidnapped along with his Iraqi interpreter on Feb. 10 in Basra. The interpreter was later released. Iraqi police and witnesses said the two men were seized by about eight masked gunmen wielding machine guns who stormed a hotel in the city.
CBS confirmed the journalist's identity but did not immediately provide other details.
