¿ALGUIEN SABÍA ALGO de esto?
Security sources have said that three Spaniards, including a woman, were freed unscathed several hours after they were taken hostage by Yemeni tribesmen hailing from Shabwa province earlier on Sunday, according to alsahwa.net.

The sources said that the release came after the province authorities contacted the captors and convinced them to set free the trio.

The province’s governor, Ali Al-Rasas, met the liberated tourists and apologized to them for such an unfortunate incident, according to the sources.

The abduction was aimed at ratcheting up pressures on the authorities to release one of the kidnappers' relatives who is being imprisoned in an Aden jail at the backdrop of a criminal case.
En nuestro idioma, sólo parece haberse ocupado de ello la prensa china (!); natural, a los ciudadanos de Aliancivilizacionia ya no les puede pasar nada, vayan donde vayan.

ACTUALIZACIÓN. Sería interesante saber de propia boca de los secuestrados qué es lo que ocurrió, si los servicios consulares españoles tuvieron conocimiento de la situación y, en caso afirmativo, qué es lo que hicieron. Lo de por qué la prensa española ha estado missing no hace falta preguntarlo...
