BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Ex-Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf has re-emerged on Arab television screens claiming the U.S. released him after questioning.

The former minister, who was ridiculed in the U.S. and UK for his daily media briefings alleging Iraqi successes during the war, said Thursday the battle had been a "very difficult time. Not just on one man, but on all."

With white hair and without his trademark beret and grin he appeared subdued compared to his usual combative style.

He appeared on Arabic news channel Al-Arabiya and Abu Dhabi TV. The interviews were recorded in Baghdad Thursday. Both TV stations declined to say where the interviews were conducted.

Speaking to Al-Arabiya, Al-Sahaf said he made contact with U.S. forces through friends after the war. He was questioned about his job and later released.

Al-Sahaf was not on the U.S. list of 55-most wanted Iraqis -- the so-called pack of cards.

"I was not one of the Iraqi leadership. I was an information minister, doing my job till the last minute," he told Abu Dhabi TV.

"The last two days [of the regime] I was not able to get in touch [except for a] few military seniors."

When asked if he knew where the Iraqi leader is, he said: "I don't know."
