German freed by Yemeni kidnappersSANAA, Yemen -- A German hostage held by Yemeni tribesmen was freed on Saturday after nearly two weeks in captivity, a senior Yemeni police official said. "The German was freed today and we have arrested one of those who participated in the kidnapping," the police official told Reuters. He gave no further details on the release. Armed tribesmen abducted the 50-year-old man, an employee of a local Mercedes Benz car dealership, from the centre of the capital Sanaa on November 29, just hours after Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh started a state visit to Germany. |
