Americans Begin Exit From Iraq After Captive Release
Twenty three Americans flew out of Iraq the first departure since Baghdad freed foreign captives. They landed in Shannon Ireland aboard a Connally charter and planned to continue to Houston via Bangor. President Bush welcomed the move but urged Iraq to remove forces from Kuwait. Iraqi authorities urged vigilance amid possible threats from US led forces as exit visas remained to be secured for those leaving.
