Welcome Home, Norman Kember
Norman Kember has arrived back in Britain on Saturday following his rescue by special forces soldiers, after being held hostage in Iraq for four nearly months.
Kember said it was "great to be free" after he and two peace activist colleagues, Canadians Harmeet Singh Sooden and Jim Loney, were released Thursday.
Kember, 74, flew back to London after leaving Baghdad on a British military aircraft on Friday afternoon.
Canadians Sooden, 32, and Loney, 41, headed to Baghdad airport on Saturday to begin their journey home from Iraq, a colleague said.
Recently, some 150 members of the peace group Christian Peacemaker Teams gathered in central Toronto for their weekly prayers and to celebrate the rescue.
