Abducted Egypt tourists freed
September 29, 2008 · Filed Under Egypt tourism
A group of Western tourists and their Egyptian guides, who were kidnapped 10 days ago by gunmen, have been freed. The 11 hostages - five Italians, five Germans and a Romanian - and their guides are said to be in good health.
The group, abducted in a remote border region of Egypt, are now en route to a military base in the capital, Cairo. During their captivity they were moved around a lawless desert area straddling Egypt, Sudan, Libya and Chad. No ransom was paid, Egyptian officials said.
The freeing of the Westerners was reported on Egyptian state television and confirmed by Italian officials.
