 N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - An ailing Belgian pilot charged with complicity in an alleged kidnapping attempt by a French charity working in Chad said Saturday he had no regrets about his role in transporting the group.
Chadian authorities released Jacques Wilmart on Friday, along with three Spanish flight crew members. All are charged with complicity in a plan to fly children to Europe whom the group claims were orphans from the conflict-ravaged Darfur region of Sudan. The Spaniards returned home Friday.
Wilmart, 74, who fell ill Thursday, left Saturday in a Belgian Air Force plane. While being transferred from an ambulance to the plane, he said he was happy to return home but his thoughts were with the children.
