From the BBC:

The US military in Iraq says it has released Associated Press (AP) photographer Bilal Hussein after holding him for two years in detention.

Mr Hussein, an Iraqi, was detained in western Anbar province on suspicion of working with insurgents.

He has always denied any improper links with insurgents and says he was doing his job as a journalist.

The US military's decision comes after an Iraqi judicial panel ordered him to be released under an amnesty law.
