Video of Italian hostage broadcast

A VIDEO of an Italian aid worker who was kidnapped nearly two weeks ago in Kabul was broadcast yesterday on an Afghan television station.

Clementina Cantoni, 32, a worker for CARE International, was shown sitting with two men standing next to her with assault rifles in their hands pointed at her head.

Responding to prompts from a man who wasn’t shown on the video, Cantoni identified herself and named her father, her mother and an uncle.
