What’s this? Jihadists … not telling the truth? From AFP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
ROME – The Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, who was kidnapped in Baghdad last week, has been seen and is in good health, her employer said on Wednesday.
“A person has been able to see Giuliana twice, first on Monday then on Tuesday morning, and has indicated that she is in good health,” the left-wing daily Il Manifesto, which employs Sgrena, wrote in its Wednesday edition.
The journalist is being “held by the Sunni resistance in a zone outside of Baghdad,” the paper said, without specifying who had visited the reporter.
A source close to the Italian intelligence service, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that although no official negotiations were taking place with Sgrena’s captors, “a mediation channel is being tried out”.
