Israel accused Iran of waging a covert campaign of state terror that stretched this week from the Middle East to the heart of Asia after a bungled series of explosions led to the capture of two Iranians in Bangkok.GENEVA — The International Committee for the Red Cross says a French aid worker kidnapped in Darfur in October has been freed.
The ICRC said in a statement that Gauthier Lefevre was freed today close to al-Geneina, the West Darfur capital, and was in good health.
He was taken hostage near the city on Oct. 22 by an unidentified group. He had been working to help local communities upgrade water supply systems.
The ICRC has said the kidnappers were seeking a ransom.
Lefevre's release comes days after two French humanitarian workers, also held hostage in Darfur, were freed. The two employees of the Lyon, France-based Triangle Humanitarian Generation aid group were seized in Central African Republic, which neighbors Sudan.
