Cairo (ANTARA News/Reuters) - Libyan authorities have released an Al Jazeera cameraman, one of four staff members detained by Muammar Gaddafi`s forces last month, the Qatar-based channel said on Thursday.

"I am in good health and I`m now in Tunisia," said Norwegian Ammar al-Hamdan, who was held for more than a month and spent 14 days in solitary confinement.

In a telephone interview with Arab satellite channel Al Jazeera, he said three accusations had been levelled against him including cooperation with Qatari and Norwegian intelligence and "infiltrating Libya". The third accusation was not clear.

Hamdan and his three colleagues were arrested by pro-Gaddafi forces on March 6, after leaving the city of al-Zawiyah, where there had been heavy fighting.

Al Jazeera Mauritanian correspondent Ahmad Vall Ould was released on April 11 and Tunisian Lotfi al-Masoudi a few days earlier. But cameraman Kamel al-Tallou, who holds British citizenship, remains unaccounted for.

Hamdan said he had not seen Tallou since they were arrested. Another Al Jazeera cameraman, Ali Hassan al-Jaber, was killed in an ambush on March 12 while returning from rebel-controlled Benghazi in eastern Libya. (*)
