World: Middle East

Freed German hostages arrive home from Yemen


Four German hostages released by another group of kidnappers in Yemen on Wednesday have arrived at Frankfurt airport.

The three women and one man were set free unharmed after being held for twenty-four days by Yemeni tribesmen.

Their release came a day after the ill fated operation to rescue the British and Australian tourists.
