Free by decree frees foreigners from Iraq and Kuwait
The Iraqi parliament approved Saddam Hussein's decree to release all foreigners held in Kuwait and Iraq. A chartered Iraqi Airways jet carried 324 passengers including 175 Americans, 90 Britons and travelers from many nations, with many to depart for the United States, London or Moscow via subsequent flights as officials push to evacuate about 750 Americans and others stranded since the Kuwait invasion.
