A guard from the Italian embassy
in Yemen has been freed four days after he was abducted, the state Yemeni news agency
Saba reported yesterday.
The abductors handed over the man
to local authorities in the southern province of Mareb late Thursday, added the
agency, quoting an official at the interior ministry.
The guard, a member of the
Carabinieri police force, was kidnapped on Sunday in Sanaa and moved to Mareb
where the Yemeni government has pursued a military campaign against insurgents
since April.
Saba said his release followed efforts by the
interior ministry upon orders from President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
