freed

Military sources claim 155 passengers have been freed and 27 militants killed.

In February, the Parole Board announced Steele - who has never admitted the killings - could be freed.

They successfully freed it of five ropes, but others remained wrapped around its head.

The threat came after Trump met with freed hostages in the White House on Wednesday.
