Fadi Ihsan Fadel

Fadi Ihsan Fadel

Fadi Ihsan Fadel (born 1971) is a Canadian humanitarian worker who was taken hostage in Iraq. He was taken hostage on April 7, 2004 and released April 16, 2004. He was working for New York-based International Rescue Committee, a non-government organization. The key issue to his release was the emphasis to his captors that he was Canadian, not Israeli.

Fadel believes that his captors specifically targeted him as they called him by his name.
