Hotel manager freed By Mexican kidnappers

Kidnappers in Mexico have set free the American manager of a luxury hotel in the resort of Acapulco.

The manager, Vincent Carrozza, had been abducted a week ago by gunmen disguised as police officers.

A security guard was shot dead in the attack.

Officials have declined to say whether a ransom was paid to secure Mr Carrozza's release.
