A Portuguese radio reporter kidnapped in southern Iraq has been released unharmed, his station reported on Saturday.

Carlos Raleiras of private radio station TSF was released in the Iraqi desert a few kilometers (miles) from the Kuwaiti border, TSF said. It said he had contacted the station.

Raleiras was seized on Friday by gunmen who opened fire on a caravan of cars carrying Portuguese reporters a few minutes after they entered Iraq from Kuwait. One reporter was shot and wounded in the leg and Raleiras was seized, along with his car.
