Saudi troops free two German children being held hostage in Yemen

Karlotta BahnsenMay 18, 2010

Security forces from Saudi Arabia have freed two German girls being held hostage in neighbouring Yemen for almost a year. The fate of the girl's parents, their little brother and a British national - who were also seized last June is still not known. Three other members of the group who were abducted - were later found dead. No group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
