Halliburton Employee Thomas Hamill Apparently Escapes Iraqi Kidnappers, Is Back in U.S. Custody

Thank god

Yes great news it is.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. hostage Thomas Hamill was found by U.S. forces south of Tikrit Sunday after he apparently escaped from captors who had been holding him since an attack on a convoy April 9, the U.S. military said.

Hamill, 43, of Macon, Miss., was "in good health," said Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt.

Kimmitt said U.S. military units were patrolling a petroleum pipeline when Hamill, a truck driver for Halliburton Corp., approached and identified himself.

"Mr. Hamill apparently escaped from a building," Kimmitt said. "He has spoken to his family. He is now ready to get back to work."

Hamill was among seven employees of Halliburton subsidiary KBR, formerly known as Kellogg, Brown & Root, missing since an April 9 attack on their convoy west of Baghdad. The bodies of four of the employees have since been found.

Also kidnapped in the attack was a U.S. soldier, Pfc. Keith M. Maupin, whose fate remains unknown. He was seen alive days later in video footage aired on the Arab television station al-Jazeera.
