Two Japanese civilian captives freed Saturday by gunmen after being kidnapped last week apologized Sunday for causing trouble and said they were snatched while trying to get to Fallujah, not to a downed U.S. chopper.
Freelance journalist Jumpei Yasuda and human rights activist Nobutaka Watanabe made the apology at a news conference in Amman.
"I failed to get enough information about the area, and I am sorry," Yasuda told reporters.
