Two German hostages kidnapped by gunmen in Nigeria this month were freed on Saturday, Germany's foreign minister said. Gunmen had abducted the two men while they were at a beach in the oil-producing southeastern Abia state on April 18, AP reported. "Both our German countrymen are safe and sound and again free," Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in a statement. "They are doing well and are in safe hands in Port Harcourt."
