[Title] => Mystery surrounds fate of Pinoy in Iraq
[Summary] => Mystery shrouded the fate of a Filipino taken hostage in Iraq as the government said yesterday it was unable to confirm a report by Arab television channel Al Jazeera that he had been released.
Local media quoted Al Jazeera television as reporting that Robert Tarongoy, who was abducted with a Nepali, an American and three Iraqis from the offices of his Saudi employer in Baghdad on Monday, was released Friday night after his wife made a televised appeal to his captors.
But Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) spokesman Gilberto Asuque said the government had not been able to confirm the release of Tarongoy, a 31-year-old accountant from Davao City.
