Kidnapped Chinese Workers In Mali Free
The army in Mali says three Chinese nationals who were kidnapped in July have ‘escaped their captors and been rescued’ by the security forces.
Armed men seized the three from a construction site in the south of the country.
Two Mauritanians abducted at the same time were freed 10 days later.
In a statement, the army said “the hostages had managed to break free on Sunday and were located the following day in a joint operation involving ground and air forces.”
The men are said to be in reasonable health
