The US military says it will release Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein after more than two years in custody in Iraq.
The statement said Mr Hussein will be freed on Wednesday now that Iraqi judicial committees have granted him amnesty for all allegations.
He has been in custody since April 12, 2006 when he was detained by US Marines for alleged links to insurgents.
The AP and Mr Hussein deny any improper links and say he was only doing his job as a journalist.
AP president Tom Curley expressed relief after the statement issued by the military.
"In time we will celebrate Bilal's release. For now, we want him safe and united with his family.
"While we may never see eye to eye with the US military over this case, it is time for all of us to move on," said Mr Curley.
