“Kidnapped newsman free in Somalia”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A French journalist who was abducted by gunmen in Somalia’s breakaway state of Puntland more than a week ago has been freed, according to officials.

Gwen Le Gouil was kidnapped within 24 hours of his arrival in Bossasso to research a story on human trafficking.

The cameraman was in good health and no ransom had been paid for his release, police said.

Government officials and influential clan elders in the region had been negotiating Mr Le Gouil’s release.

Puntland government officials and elders said last week that the abductors had asked for a ransom of $70,000 (£35,000).”
