Algeria says recovered German kidnapped in Niger

ALGEIRS: Algeria said on Saturday it had taken charge of a German citizen kidnapped some two weeks ago over the border in unrest-riven Niger by an armed criminal group. Identified as Ulumaskan Sinan, the German was received on Friday by the Algerian army’s security services before being taken on a special flight from In Guezzam in the far south to the Boufarik military base near the capital Algiers, according to a defense ministry statement. Sinan, who is in “good health,” will be handed over to the German authorities “at a later date,” the ministry added.
