Iraq state TV accuses US of releasing "terrorist"

BAGHDAD, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Iraq's state-funded television station said on Wednesday the U.S. military had released a "terrorist" after he was captured by the Iraqi army, at a time when tension between Baghdad and Washington is high.

Iraqiya television named the man as Atta Hadi al-Zaidi and said he was responsible for sectarian violence and forcing people to move out of the violence-prone Diyala province.

A government source confirmed the release of Zaidi, a former Iraqi army Brigadier under Saddam Hussein.

Many Shi'ite politicians, suspicious of U.S. intentions in Iraq's sectarian conflict, have quietly accused the U.S. military in the past of releasing Sunni militants.

2. US is in a "no-win" situation here

Each side is going to accuse the US of releasing their enemies leaders. We're stuck in the middle of a civil war with no right or wrong way to react.
