OTTAWA (CP) - Canada's elite JTF-2 special forces played a role in helping to rescue three western aid workers, including two Canadains, held captive in Baghdad.

The Defence Department refused Thursday to confirm Canadian military involvement, but a source said the elite squad was "instrumental" in the operation. Pentagon and British military officials also said that Canadian and British special forces took the reins of the ground operation.
