A French aid worker kidnapped in northern Yemen
in April by armed men has been released and is in good health, the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said yesterday.
"Benjamin Malbrancke, the delegate of the
International Committee of the Red Cross abducted on April 21 by armed
individuals near the town of Hodeida, in northern Yemen, is free," the
humanitarian agency said in a brief statement. Referring to an al Qaeda-linked
cell, ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan told Reuters in Geneva: "He
(Malbrancke) was handed over to ICRC representatives by Ansar al-Sharia on
Friday. We don't know who the abductors were."
