Kidnapped Libyan diplomats freed in Somalia

Posted Sun Jan 6, 2008 11:06am AEDT

Two Libyan diplomats who were kidnapped in the Somali capital Mogadishu have been released unharmed just a few hours after they were taken.

Libyan officials say the two were seized by masked and armed men while shopping close to the Bakara market in the middle of the city.

They say no ransom had been paid for the diplomats' release.

Outbreaks of violence are common in Mogadishu as insurgents fight the Ethiopian-backed interim Somali Government, but kidnaps there are rare.
