| [ABCNEWS.GO] An American woman and her safari guide who were kidnapped in a Ugandan wilderness park and held five days by armed captors were returned unharmed on Sunday after a ransom was paid for their release, authorities said. Kim Sue Endicott of Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and her tour guide, Congolese national Jean-Paul Mirenge Remezo, were freed in a negotiated handover, officials said. The kidnappers who kidnapped them at gunpoint in Queen Elizabeth National Park had demanded a $500,000 ransom, but it was not immediately known how much was paid to secure their release or who paid it. Endicott and Remezo were taken back to a lodge at the park, a front man for the Wild Frontiers Uganda safari operation told ABC News. |
