Sudan to negotiate hostage release - 26-05-2010

Khartoum - Sudanese authorities located kidnappers who are holding three aid workers, including an American woman, and will negotiate the hostages' release, a minister said on Tuesday.

"We succeeded in locating them and we will negotiate their release using local mediators," state minister for humanitarian affairs Abdel Baqi al-Jilani told reporters.

"But we will refuse to pay a ransom and we reserve the right to bring them to justice," he said.

Gunmen kidnapped the aid workers, employed by a US group, last week as they were travelling to Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state.

Officials said they believed the kidnapping had a financial motive.

During the past year, Darfur has seen a wave of kidnappings of aid workers and of expatriates in general, and of other violence.

Last month four South African peacekeepers who had been held in Darfur were freed unharmed after 15 days in captivity.
