By CNN Correspondent Chris Burns
BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- A Hezbollah militant sentenced to life in Germany for murdering a U.S. Navy diver during the 1985 hijacking of a U.S. jetliner has been freed, officials said.
The German government denied on Tuesday the release was related to the freeing of a German hostage in Iraq.
Mohammed Ali Hammadi was freed by Hessen state authorities, said Justice Ministry spokeswoman Eva Schmierer at a news conference. She noted it was a state, not a federal issue.
