 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Five Europeans freed by kidnappers said Wednesday they were treated well and expressed gratitude to the governments of Eritrea and Ethiopia that led to their release. However, in a statement issued by the British Foreign Office in London, the five diplomats and relatives said they were worried about the eight Ethiopians who were abducted with the group and who are still missing.
"We are very worried that the Ethiopians who were accompanying us are all still being held. We would not want anything to be said that might inadvertently jeopardize their safe release. Our foremost concern is that they should be released as soon as possible," the statement said.
The five appealed to the media for privacy.
