Clementina Cantoni, the CARE International aid worker being held by Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan since May 3oth has been released. Our earlier post about Clementina Cantoni is here. Thank God she did not meet the same fate as CARE International worker in Iraq, Margaret Hassan.
An Italian aid worker held hostage for more than three weeks in Afghanistan has been released in good health, the Interior Ministry said Thursday.
Clementina Cantoni, 32, was safely at the Interior Ministry and has spoken to her mother by telephone, Interior Ministry spokesman Latfullah Mashal told The Associated Press.
Cantoni ``is in good health, given the 24-day ordeal she went through,'' he said later at a news conference.
No ransom was paid and no concessions were given to her kidnappers, he said.
Combined pressure from the Afghan public, President Hamid Karzai, tribal leaders and Muslim clerics helped win her release, Mashal said.
Another ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Cantoni was set free in Logar province, just south of Kabul, where police picked her up.
Cantoni was abducted by armed men May 16 as she was being driven to her home in the capital, Kabul, where she was working for CARE International on a project helping Afghan widows and their families.

Thanos, have hope, the red diaper doper babies should start dropping like flies pretty soon, and Chumpsky should be one of them. They aren't getting any younger, and hopefully the stress of watching their carefully laid plans implode will do a number on their hearts and blood pressure. I personally took it as a sign when Hunter S. Thompson offed himself; that man, though a talented writer with a unique wit, hated America, it seems, and he couldn't bear to watch the country grow strong again. Maybe the rest will follow suit soon.
