Baghdad _ Mawazine News
Informed sources said on Friday that the kidnappers of Qataris in Iraq have been released by extensive negotiations between the Iraqi and Qatari sides.
The sources said, according to local and Arab media that "the kidnapped Qataris were released in Iraq in conjunction with the entry of the people of Kufria and Fu'a to Aleppo."
"Advanced communications devices and large sums of money were in the possession of Qatari detainees in custody."
She added that "large sums of money were offered to the detainee in return for the release of the Qatari detainees, in addition to the Qatari delegation that received the detainees confirmed that Doha paid a lot of money but refused."
"The Qatari side was charged with impeding the agreement of the four towns after the bombing of adults," she said.
The deal, which included Iran, Qatar and four major militias in the region for the release of two Qatari kidnappers in Iraq, was delayed by a suicide bombing that targeted evacuees in Syria, the Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday.
"A Qatari plane sent to gather 26 kidnappers from the Doha ruling family in Baghdad is waiting for the fourth day as a regional deal linking their release to the release of four besieged Syrian cities was resumed earlier this week," it said in a report.
Qatari officials arrived in the Iraqi capital on Saturday with large bags that refused to be searched. Senior Iraqi officials said they believed the bags carried millions of dollars in ransom money to be paid to the family.
The spokesman for Prime Minister Saad al-Hadithi's press office said on Friday that the government was coordinating with the Qatari side and some countries on the Qatari fisherman's file.
"The government is coordinating with the Qatari side and there are direct contacts with it and with some countries in an attempt to obtain information about the fishermen and release them," al-Hadithi told Mawazine News.
"The file is still working on the government and no results have been achieved on the ground, but there are strong efforts on the release, stressing that the Iraqi Interior Ministry is working on the field on the file."
The media reported today the news of the Iraqi Interior Ministry received the kidnapped Qatari fishermen. But he did not issue a formal explanation until now.
