Ex-hostage Cantoni Arrives Home After Afghanistan Release
Italian aid worker Clementina Cantoni returned to Rome after over three weeks in captivity in Afghanistan saying she was treated well. In Kabul four detainees were released from police custody for questioning about the kidnapping, including the abductors’ mother, a move not tied to any hostage deal. Prime Minister Berlusconi met Cantoni at Ciampino airport and escorted her to Italian soil, where she asked for a bowl of spa water.
