Italy: 2 kidnapped Italians, 1 Canadian freed in Libya
Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni
Rome - Arab Today
Italy's Foreign Ministry says two Italians and a Canadian citizen who had been kidnapped in Libya have been freed and returned safely to Italy.
The ministry said the three men were "liberated" in southern Libya during the night and brought early Saturday on a special flight to Italy, ABC News said.
A statement said their release was due to "the efficient collaboration of local Libyan authorities" but did not provide details.
They were kidnapped on September 19 in Ghat by a group of armed men who blocked their vehicle.
They are all technicians with an Italian company, Conicos, which is doing construction works at an airport in Libya.
