                    [Summary] => 
KABUL (AFP) - A criminal gang that kidnapped a German woman in the Afghan capital Kabul at the weekend was motivated by money, the interior ministry said Monday. 



The woman, Christina Meier, was freed early Monday in a police raid on a compound where she had been held for 36 hours. 



The gang had demanded a ransom of around one million US dollars, ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary told reporters in Kabul. 



"The motive behind the kidnapping was mainly ransom. They had demanded a big sum -- about a million dollars," Bashary said.
