BAGHDAD — An Iraqi accused of being behind the killings in 2007 of five American soldiers has been released by the Iraqi government, according to an Iraqi official.

“According to my personal information, he was released two days ago,” the official, Alaa al-Taei, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, said Tuesday.

The suspect, Qais al-Khazali, is accused of being a leader of a militia, Asa’ib al-Haq, or the League of the Righteous. He was transferred from American military custody to Iraqi hands last week.

That transfer came hours before the militia released a British computer expert, Peter Moore, whom it had held for two and a half years.
