Militants holding a Filipino in Iraq have said they will release him on Tuesday, according to a diplomatic source in Baghdad.
The news came moments after the Philippine government said it would withdraw its 50-member humanitarian force from Iraq "as soon as possible" to save the life of Angelo de la Cruz, a 46-year-old father of eight.
The statement was made by the Philippines deputy foreign minister Rafael Seguis on the Arabic-language Al-Jazeera network.
