 Sudanese refugees released 15 aid workers they had detained in a crowded camp in the violent western Darfur region, the United Nations said Tuesday. But five Sudanese nongovernment organization employees are still being held. U.N. spokesman George Somerwill said the workers were abducted Sunday inside the vast Kalma refugee camp in South Darfur city of Nyala. Intensive efforts to release the hostages began immediately after the abductions were reported, Somerwill said. No details were available on the nationalities of the aid workers. The refugees abducted the aid workers in retaliation for the government's recent arrest of a popular tribal sheik in the camp, Somerwill said.
