Berlin: A German aid worker kidnapped in Afghanistan in April is free and safe, the German foreign ministry said Friday.
"Foreign minister (Frank-Walter) Steinmeier is relieved that a German man who was abducted in mid-April has been free since last night," the spokeswoman told reporters.
"He is doing well under the circumstances and is in the custody of the German consulate in Mazar-i-Sharif" in northern Afghanistan, she added.
The spokeswoman declined to provide further details on the case, which was kept quiet during the hostage's captivity, but said a crisis team had worked to secure his release.
