BERLIN (AP) — A German aid worker who was kidnapped in Pakistan more than two years ago has been freed in Afghanistan, the German government and his employer said Friday.
The man is now in the care of the German government and is being given medical and psychological care, the Foreign Ministry said. It said that “foreign partners” helped bring about the man’s release, but didn’t elaborate.
German aid group Welthungerhilfe confirmed the release of employee Bernd Muehlenbeck and said in a statement that he is “doing well considering the circumstances.” He will return to Germany in the coming days, it added.
