Geneva - Two Red Cross workers released by kidnappers in former Soviet Georgia arrived in Geneva to an emotional reunion with their families yesterday, more than a week after they were taken hostage near the border with Chechnya.
Ms Natascia Zullino from Italy and Ms Sophia Prokofieff from France looked tired but happy as they stepped off a Red Cross plane to be greeted by members of their families, with a Labrador dog in tow, on the tarmac of Geneva's international airport. They did not talk to reporters.
The two aid workers and their Georgian driver, Mr Yuri Durchiyev, were freed unharmed early yesterday morning by villagers who abducted them on August 4th, for reasons unknown.
