Baghdad - A British journalist held hostage in Iraq for more than two months revealed that he was abducted by men wearing police uniforms and taken first to what appeared to be a police station.
Richard Butler, who works for the US television network CBS, was kidnapped with his interpreter in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on February 10 and was rescued by Iraqi troops on April 14.
Butler, 48, told the BBC he was staying at the Sultan Palace Hotel with his interpreter when he was woken up in the middle of the night by eight men clad as policemen and armed with AK-47s.
