US student among kidnap victims freed in Tanzania
American student Miss Smuts and three others abducted from a wildlife research center near Kigoma were released unharmed after a week. Officials said the group, including Stanford students Carrie Jane Unter and Kenneth Smith and Dutch national Emilie Bergman, were seized by about 40 armed men likely tied to a Marxist guerrilla faction. A ransom demand of around $1 million was reported, with the release near the Tanzania Zaire border and a note from the gunmen. Miss Smuts appeared tired but did not answer questions about captivity.
