A German woman who was kidnapped by militants in Iraq in February is free but her son remains in captivity, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Wednesday."After 155 days, Hannelore Krause's captivity is over. She has been free since yesterday afternoon," Steinmeier told reporters in Berlin, declining to talk about the circumstances of her release.
"We are relieved that Mrs. Krause is now free, but the worrying uncertainty about the fate of her son, who is still in captivity, remains," he added.
Iraqi militants had threatened to kill the two, seized from their home in western Baghdad on February 6, unless Germany withdrew its troops from Afghanistan.
Mrs. Krause and her son appeared in two videos pleading for their lives. Thank God one of them is free at last, let's keep praying for her son and for the other hostages in Iraq and the Middle East. And I don't want to hear any complaints when the "Arrows of Righteousness" find out what real righteous justice looks like.
