Pilots Kidnapped In Congo Freed

Ukrainian, Congolese Pilots Released On Friday

Two pilots kidnapped in the Democratic Republic of Congo the first of the month were reportedly freed by their kidnappers on Friday.

A 51-year-old Ukrainian pilot and his co-pilot, a native of Congo, were said to be "very, very tired by the conditions which they have been through," the Red Cross told the international news service AFP.

The two were captured following an attack on their plane by Mai Mai militants and Hutu rebels in the Nord-Kivu province near Walikale. They were released to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
