According to Juma Al Junaibi, Director-General of the UAE Foreign Ministry, the three Emiratis — Sultan Rashid Nasser Al Mansouri, Saeed Salim Humaid Al Mansouri and Ahmed Shaban Saleh Al Mansouri — along with their seven companions, were on their way home by air.
They were handed over to the UAE Ambassador to Iraq, Abdullah Ibrahim Al Shehi, on Sunday.
“The plane carrying them has already left Iraq en route to the UAE,’’ Al Junaibi said.
The UAE Foreign Ministry’s official praised the Iraqi government, Interior Minister Jawad Al Bulani, chiefs of tribes, other entities and people for their cooperation and keenness to ensure the safe release of the three UAE nationals.
Ambassador Al Shehi said the UAE diplomatic mission in Baghdad also made strenuous efforts over the past few days which culminated in the release of the three UAE nationals.
