Could this be true?

Buried deep in a CNN article about the progress in Fallujah is this curious statement.

Arabic-language television network Al-Jazeera reported Sunday that two women relatives of Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi, have been released by kidnappers. A group called Ansar al-Jihad last week claimed responsibility for the kidnapping on a Web site.

Odd that this doesn't get big headlines, if true. The kidnapping certainly did.

Even odder that I can't find anything mentioning it on Al Jazeera.
