"An Israeli Arab taken hostage in Iraq two weeks ago and accused of spying for Israel was released by his captors Thursday, his U.S.-based employer said.

Research Triangle International Vice President Sally Johnson said their employee, Nabil George Yaakob Razouk, was "safe and sound." Relatives of Razouk said Thursday that the North Carolina-based independent, nonprofit group had informed them of his release.

Razouk's mother, Samira, told Haaretz on Thursday that she hopes her son will stop working in Iraq, and thanked Yasser Arafat, whom the family had asked for help after finding out Nabil had been abducted."

"Razouk, a 30-year-old man from a prominent Coptic Christian family in East Jerusalem who was doing local governance work in Iraq, was taken hostage on April 8. Johnson did not have details about the release or how Razouk was treated, but said he appeared to be in good condition."
