Australian freed 4 months after kidnapping in Afghanistan
An Australian aid worker kidnapped in Afghanistan in April had been released and was safe, Australia's foreign minister said Monday. Credit for the release of Kerry Jane Wilson was given to Afghan authorities.
Wilson was kidnapped on April 28 in the eastern city of Jalalabad. Afghan authorities have not said who abducted her.
Wilson, who is in her 60s, has been living in Afghanistan for years and runs Zardozi, an organization that helps support impoverished Afghan women by selling embroidered items they make.
