KIRKUK / Aswat al-Iraq: A newborn baby was freed a few days after he was abducted by two women from a hospital in Kirkuk, according to a local security source.

“A police force on Sunday arrested two sisters who kidnapped a newborn baby from Kirkuk General Hospital late last month,” a police chief in Kirkuk, Brig. Sarhad Qadir, told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
“The police received intelligence reports about the whereabouts of the abducted baby, Muntadhar Ihsan Kareem, who was found inside a house in al-Rashad district (35 km southwest of Kirkuk),” Qadir noted.

Kirkuk, an oil-rich and mixed city of Kurds, Turkmen, Christians and Arabs, lies 250 km northeast of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
