Syrian-born Omar Hayssam, who is accused of masterminding the March 2005 kidnapping of three Romanian journalists in Iraq, was released from jail in late April because he had colon cancer and needed special treatment not available in the prison health system.
Omar Hayssam, rođen u Siriji, koji se tereti za planiranje otmice troje rumunjskih novinara u Iraku u ožujku 2005. godine, oslobođen je iz zatvora koncem travnja jer je patio od raka debelog crijeva i bio mu je potreban poseban tretman koji ne postoji u zatvorskom zdravstvenom sustavu.
