Kidnapped oil worker released

2008-07-25 22:09

Khartoum - Sudanese kidnappers on Friday released an Indian oil worker and his driver in good health, following a 74-day hostage drama in the heart of the African country, the Indian ambassador told AFP.

"(He) was released this morning along with the Sudanese driver. He's in good health I spoke to him. He should be in Khartoum tomorrow," said Deepak Vohra.

Members of the Arab Messeria tribe were behind the kidnapping.

Four Indian oil workers were abducted with their Sudanese driver on May 13 in an area adjoining Sudan's disputed oil district of Abyei.

Two oil workers had already escaped and the fourth has been missing in the jungle since the end of May, said Vohra.
