London: Britain's Foreign Office says a British reporter kidnapped on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan has been released after being held for three months. Sean Langan was working on a documentary for Britain's Channel 4 when he was seized.
The Foreign Office yesterday said that Langan was freed late Saturday. The ministry says it was not involved in securing his release. In a statement, his family says it had been unaware of the reporter s kidnapping until recent weeks. The family says Langan had been held by a group linked to the Taliban. He has previously made documentaries in Iraq, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan.
