0:00I'm Ben Thomas with the NAP News Minute. Pakistan's Prime Minister is calling for a two-week ceasefire in the Iran War and calling on Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz during the truce at the Goodwill gesture. There's a head of President Trump's deadline for Iran's capitulation, otherwise he's warned a whole civilization will die tonight. In other news, Saga Mugani reports. In Iraqi officials says an American freelance journalist kidnapped last week in Baghdad has been freed. A powerful Iranian-backed militia group said earlier it would release Shelley Kiddelsen, who was snatched from a street corner. Katayyab Hizbalah had not previously said it was responsible for the kidnapping, though both the U.S. and Iraqi officials blamed the militia. Officials within the group told the AP several of its members earlier detained by Iraq would be freed in exchange for releasing the 49-year-old Kiddelsen. Saga Mugani, Washington, and I'm Ben Thomas.
