| [Al Arabiya Latest] Two Sudanese staffers of Libya's Gaddafi Foundation who had been reported kidnapped in Darfur are free, Sudan's state minister for humanitarian affairs told AFP on Friday, saying they had never been abducted. "I have just contacted the security people at El-Fasher (capital of north Darfur). The two Sudanese from the Gaddafi Foundation were freed after half an hour. It was a misunderstanding," Abdel Baqi Gilani said, adding that they had never been kidnapped but declining to elaborate. Sudanese intelligence services also insisted that the two men had not been abducted, according to a senior official with the U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force. |
