"Teddy Bear" teacher arrives home from Sudan

[cboy4]

LONDON - A British teacher jailed in Sudan for letting her students name a teddy bear Muhammad as part of a writing project arrived home Tuesday after being pardoned and said she was "very upset to think that I might have caused offense to people."

Gillian Gibbons told reporters after arriving at London's Heathrow Airport that she was looking forward to seeing her family and friends.

"I'm just an ordinary middle-aged primary school teacher. I went out there to have an adventure, and got a bit more than I bargained for," Gibbons said at a brief news conference.

"I don't think anyone could have imagined it would snowball like this," she added.

2. She has shown an amazing amount of grace, dignity, and tact during this

Even now, she's saying nothing negative about the Sudanese government nor the fired secretary who did this to her.
