A Scottish construction engineer who has been held in jail in Iraq for the last two months will be reunited with his family tomorrow. Brian Glendinning, 43, will fly into Edinburgh Airport at about 5.25pm and will be greeted by his loved ones, following his lengthy ordeal.
The father-of-three, from Kincardine in Fife, was arrested on an Interpol Red Notice when he arrived at Baghdad airport to work in Iraq on September 12, over an alleged debt owed to the Qatar National Bank.
Last week, the bank issued a clearance note stamped by Qatar authorities saying they no longer wanted Brian extradited, but it was not immediately communicated to the Iraqi authorities, leaving him trapped in the prison for a few more days. With the message now confirmed, the dad will be back home by tomorrow night.
