ABU DHABI, August 23, 2015

United Arab Emirates forces based in Yemen's port city of Aden have freed a British hostage who had been held by Al Qaeda, state news agency Wam said on Sunday.

The hostage, who went missing in February 2014, was taken to Abu Dhabi on a military plane on Saturday night, the agency said.

Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan spoke to British Prime Minister David Cameron to tell him about the release on Saturday, Wam added. -Reuters
