| 2009-03-11 |
| (AKI) - Police have freed a 30-year-old Afghan man allegedly being held hostage by two Turks in a kebab house in Rome's central Trastevere district (photo). The man was dehydrated and weak, police said, quoted by media on Tuesday. Four unnamed individuals who worked at the kebab house and a Romanian woman are currently being questioned by police over the Afghan's suspected abduction in Germany and transfer to Italy. Police said they also seized several knives and a suitcase stuffed with cash from the kebab house, as well as "other items of interest to the investigation." Local shopkeepers said the kebab house staff seemed respectable and said they had never noticed any suspicious comings and goings, cries or arguments. |

| #2 OK, I have to ask. "What's so suspicious about Knives in a Kebab house"? You gotta have something to cut meat. Or were they swords? |
