Two Saudi nationals were freed peacefully on Tuesday after being held for two days by 20 armed tribesmen in Yemen, Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Ali Al-Hamdan told Okaz newspaper. The released Saudis, Saleh and Hussein Aal Mansour, told Okaz that they had left their home region of Najran on Sunday for a tourist visit to Yemen and were confronted by armed members of a local tribe. They were then taken to a remote area by their abductors but were permitted to use their mobile telephones over the two days they were held in order to conduct negotiations for their release.
