Nun kidnapped by al Qaida free

A COLOMBIAN nun who was kidnapped more than four years ago by al Qaida-linked extremists in Mali has been freed.

Gloria Narvaez was kidnapped in February 2017 near Mali’s border with Burkina Faso.

“The presidency of Mali salutes the courage and bravery of this nun,” Mali’s presidency said in a statement.

The conditions of her release have not been revealed.
