Coalition Forces Rescue U.S. Hostage

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military, acting on a tip, raided a farmhouse Wednesday and rescued an American held hostage for 10 months. In southern Iraq, a roadside bomb killed four American security guards, fueling fears the bloody insurgency was taking deeper root outside Sunni-dominated territory.

Roy Hallums, 57, was "in good condition and is receiving medical care," a military statement said after U.S. forces freed him from an isolated farmhouse 15 miles south of Baghdad. The statement said the military had received a tip from an Iraqi prisoner."
