                    [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.
