Former U.S. hostage during 1st Gulf War gets $1.75 million in compensation from Iraq
 

"LAKE HAVASU, Ariz. (AP) A former oil worker who went partially blind and suffered nerve damage while being held hostage in Iraq in 1990 has received $1.75 million in damages from the Iraqi government.

Jack Frazier, 65, was one of 178 former hostages who successfully sued the Republic of Iraq for illegally detaining them prior to 1991's Gulf War. The former hostages were awarded a total of $93 million.

Frazier, a diabetic who was denied insulin during his three-month detention, was awarded his share in 2001. Frazier received the first half of his $1.75 million settlement last week, and the final payment was deposited into his bank account on Tuesday."
