BEIJING (AP) - China's Foreign Ministry announced Sunday that nine Chinese oil workers who were kidnapped last month in Nigeria had been released unharmed by their captors.
The workers were taken Jan. 25 when gunmen stormed the government-owned Chinese National Petroleum Co. office in the Nigerian state of Bayelsa.
The Foreign Ministry said in a brief statement on its Web site that the workers were released early Sunday (Beijing time) and were expected to return to China soon.
