News agencies are quoting an unnamed mediator as saying the two were released. The mediator gave no other details.
Turkish and Egyptian officials have not confirmed the release.
A wave of kidnappings began sweeping through Iraq in April when U.S. forces launched an operation in the town of Al-Fallujah and a radical Shi'a cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, raised an armed revolt against the U.S.-led coalition in central and southern Iraq.
Since then, dozens of foreigners have been taken hostage in Iraq. Some have been released or rescued. Some have been executed.
