Vice News reporter Mohammed Rasool has been released on bail in Turkey after more than four months in jail, Reuters reported.

Rasool was detained in August with two other Vice journalists working in southeastern Turkey.

Turkish courts freed the other journalists, who were British, but ruled to keep Rasool, an Iraqi who was working as their fixer and translator. The trio were held on charges of terrorism.
