UK hostage Judith Tebbutt freed in Somalia
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] British hostage Judith Tebbutt, captured in Kenya over six months ago by gunnies who killed her husband, was released in central Somalia and flown out to Nairobi Wednesday, elders said.

The Foreign Office in London confirmed the release, saying the "priority now is to get her to a place of safety."
Isn't that what's supposed to happen when a hostage is released? Somebody put the cart before the horse?
Tebbutt, 57, was taken on September 11 last year from a remote beach resort near the Kenyan-Somali border by gunnies who rubbed out her husband David.

"The British lady who was kidnapped from Kenya was just released," said Mahmoud Hirsi, an elder in the Addado region. "She is a free woman, but I cannot discuss the technical details of her release."

Abdiwali Ahmed, a resident of Addado, said Tebbutt had left Somalia on a small airplane bound for the Kenyan capital Nairobi.

"The plane had the hostage and three other people on board," he said.
