Finnish and austrian hostages in Yemen !

[topspeed3]

A finnish couple and a young man from Austria are being held by Al-Qaeda in Yemen.
They were kidnapped last year and so far austrian citizen has appeared in a ransom video.
Any chance to get them free peacefully ?
Good ideas how to free them ?
Is Chuck Norris still in business or Rambo and whuchhimmacallit...Putins friend ?

No ideas to help finns and an austrian ?

We don't know where they are or who are holding them. That kinda limits ones options.

Yep. First you have to find them.

Sounded like the reporter who had seen them was scared to death ? I mean if he told more he'd be finished ? That was the content of the news that I hear from radio...Sana is a city in Yemen.

Looks like they are freed and soon at home.
I don't really expect to find out much about how they were freed. Safety of other western hostages in Yemen, etc... Finnish Foreign Minister says that they did not pay a ransom. Maybe somebody else did. Newspapers mention that the Sultan of Oman may have influenced the outcome.

Thank you Sultan of Oman !
