| Somali militia releases kidnapped UN worker |
| 2004-02-08 |
| I guess that means the check cleared ... A German U.N. worker who was kidnapped more than a week ago by gunmen in Somalia was released on Saturday, a militia chief said. Mohamed Jimale, the military head of the Juba Valley Alliance militia that was trying to secure his release, said Rolf Helmrich had been taken to the Somali town of Kismayo. "He was released an hour ago," Jimale told Reuters in the Somali capital Mogadishu. |
