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. [DatePublished] => 2007-08-20 16:05:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => [AuthorName] => [SectionName] => Nation [SectionUrl] => nation [URL] => ) ) )
