Insurgents in Iraq have freed a Filipino truck driver whom they kidnapped and threatened to behead, a Philippine official said Saturday.
The release of Angelo de la Cruz comes as the Philippines announced that its 50 troops in Iraq would leave as scheduled next month.
Philippine Labor Secretary Patricia Santo Tomas said on TV that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo informed the hostage's wife that her husband was on his way to a hotel in Baghdad.
