Kidnapped American journalist Shelly Kittleson set to be released, says Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah

An American journalist will reportedly be released by an Iranian-backed militia a week after she was kidnapped in Baghdad — on the condition that she leaves Iraq immediately.

The release of Shelly Kittleson, 49, from Monticello, Wisconsin, was seemingly confirmed in a post on the encrypted social messaging app Telegram by Abu Mujahid Aasaf, the security chief of Hezbollah Brigades.
