Tuesday, September 12, 2017 IST
Catholic priest Tom Uzhunnalil, who was abducted by the Islamic State in Yemen last year, has been rescued, Union foreign minister Sushma Swaraj said on Tuesday.
The priest was abducted during a terrorist raid on a Missionaries of Charity-run old age home in Aden in Yemen on March 4, 2016. At least 16 people including four nuns were killed in the attack. Uzhunnalil belongs to Ramapuram village in Kerala’s Kottayam district.
In May this year, Uzhunnalil made an emotional appeal for a rescue through a five-minute video that was posted on YouTube, accusing accused the Indian government and the Pope of doing little for his release.
