Afghan police free German captive
Afghan police rescued a German aid worker who was snatched while dining with her husband at a restaurant in the capital Kabul, and arrested four suspected kidnappers in the sting operation today, officials said.
Hundreds of police surrounded a house to free the 31-year-old woman in a raid at 12.30am (2100 Irish time Sunday) in western Kabul, not far from the area where she was taken captive on Saturday, said Interior Ministry spokesman Zemerai Bashary.
