Kidnapped Swiss aid worker freed in Darfur

KHARTOUM, Sudan: Sudanese security forces have freed a Swiss aid worker who had been kidnapped in Darfur last month in an overnight operation in the war-torn region, a Sudanese official said Wednesday.
Her abduction was the first such reported incident in Darfur since the United Nations began scaling back its peacekeeping force in the region earlier this year.
