Four New York Times Journalist were released Monday, March 21, 2011 after being held captive in Libya for six days. They had been captured by troops loyal to Col. Moammar Gadhafi in Ajdabiya. At the time of their capture, the reporters had entered a rebel-controlled portion of Egypt without visas. Reportedly the Turkish government along with the United States Government and British government all played key roles in process of getting them released. However, many reporters still risk imprisonment by going to this area to make reports. Two reporters from AFP as well as two photographers who were with the New York Times Journalist at the time of the incident are still missing.
