A Yemeni security official says three German women hostages have been found dead, their bodies mutilated. The official says shepherds found the bodies Monday morning in the mountainous northern Saada province, near the town of el-Nashour, according to a report of The Associated Press. The three were among a group of nine foreigners, including seven Germans, abducted Friday in the remote area. The Interior Ministry said the foreigners, who were not identified, were kidnapped while on a picnic.
