STORYLINE:

The first of 6,000 Iraqi prisoners of war began their journeys home this weekend after being released from Camp Bucca, a prisoner of war camp in the southern Iraqi town of Umm Qasr.

Around 200 former prisoners cheered and smiled as they departed on buses and trucks, saying the American troops had treated them well.

The process of releasing prisoners from Camp Bucca began on Saturday.

US troops hope two to three hundred prisoners will be sent home each day.
