For anyone that recalls this kidnapping, Australian newspapers today are
reporting their release, apparently after a $1,000,000 ransom was paid.

"AUSTRALIAN journalist Nigel Brennan and his Canadian colleague Amanda
Lindhout have been freed more than a year after they were kidnapped in
Somalia."* *
