Two foreign tourists released from hostage in south Iran

Bandar Abbas, IRNA - Police chief in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan says that his forces have secured the release of two foreign tourists from hostage after they were held for less than 24 hours.

Brigadier Gholamreza Jafari said on Sunday that the operation to release the hostages was launched in response to the letter from the Interpol police organization and a statement from the embassy of one of the neighboring countries.

Jafari said the two foreign nationals are aged 65 and 70 and have been in Iran on a tourist trip, adding that the pair had been abducted in Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan province.

The local police chief said two hostage-takers were arrested in their hideouts during the operation which he said ended in the safe release of the foreign tourists.
