KABUL, Aug 20 (AFP): Afghan police rescued a female German aid worker abducted at gunpoint in Kabul after surrounding the house where was being held and forcing her kidnappers to surrender before dawn Monday, officials said.
The woman was fine and six kidnappers had been arrested, police colonel Ghulam Rasoul, who was part of the rescue operation, told the news agency.
"Yes, we successfully rescued her," he said, adding police had pinpointed the woman to a house in southwest Kabul near where she had been kidnapped Saturday in broad daylight.
"We located the house where she was kept. We surrounded the house and called on the kidnappers to surrender to police. They came out one by one and surrendered and then we freed the hostage. She's fine," Rasoul said.
