Red Cross staffer freed after months in Chad
A French agronomist who was kidnapped in Chad in November was freed Saturday in Sudan after 89 days in captivity, International Committee of the Red Cross reported.
The organization said employee Laurent Maurice "is tired but appears to be in good health." The agronomist was kidnapped Nov. 9 by armed men while working in the village of Kawa near Chad's eastern border with Sudan. He had been in the African nation for 10 months before being abducted, the statement said. (AP)
