Family of Scots man jailed in Iraq 'cried tears of joy' after hearing prison 'nightmare' was over

The brother of a Scots man jailed in Iraq said he 'cried tears of joy' after finding out his prison 'nightmare' had ended.

Brian Glendinning, 43, was locked up in a Baghdad jail for 70 days after being arrested in Basra International Airport on September 4. The dad-of-three, from Kincardine, Fife, was being held over a £20,000 debt to Qatar National Bank.

He was due to start work as a construction engineer, however when he attempted to pass through border control he was cuffed and taken to a holding cell.
