Flanigan meets with Afghan president

Three UN workers who were held hostage in Afghanistan including Irish hostage Annetta Flanigan met President Hamid Karzai today, looking tired but happy a day after their release from nearly four weeks of captivity.

Flanigan, from Northern Ireland, Philippine diplomat Angelito Nayan and Shqipe Hebibi, of Kosovo, held a private meeting with the Afghan leader in his palace in Kabul.
