Afghan police freed a German hostage from a Kabul neighborhood and arrested a group of kidnappers early Monday, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said.
The raid freed a 31-year old German captive who was abducted from a restaurant on Saturday, said Zemary Bashari. "A group of kidnappers were arrested," Bashari said. He did not provide any further details about the operation in western Kabul, not far from the area where the woman went missing. A spokeswoman for Germany's Foreign Ministry in Berlin confirmed the woman was "in safety at the German Embassy" in Kabul. She declined to give any further details.
