Abducted German woman freed in Afghanistan (5th Lead)

Kabul - Afghan security forces overnight Sunday freed a German woman abducted a day earlier, the Afghan Interior Ministry and police in Kabul confirmed to Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. The woman, identified as 31-year-old Christina M, was abducted Saturday from a Kabul restaurant by armed men. Earlier Sunday, an Afghan news channel aired video footage of the aid worker with a kidnapper, who said that 'Madam Christina' would be released in a prisoner exchange. A spokeswoman for the German Foreign Ministry in Berlin confirmed the report of the abductee's release. 'She is in the safe custody of the German embassy in Kabul,' said the spokeswoman, who declined to comment on Christina M's health condition. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
