U.S. Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt today said that Hamill is "in good health" after apparently escaping his captors.
"He came out of a building [and] identified himself to American soldiers. It looked like it was an escape," Kimmit said. "This is [from] preliminary reports that we have [which] would indicate that he escaped from a building when he saw the American forces, identified himself, and was subsequently recovered."
Hamill was among seven contract workers missing since a 9 April attack on their truck convoy west of Baghdad. The bodies of four have since been found.
Also kidnapped in the attack was a U.S. soldier, whose fate remains unknown. He was last seen alive in video aired on the Arab television station Al-Jazeera, days after his abduction.
