Australian pilot, two passengers released from brief kidnap in Papua New GuineaBy Lewis Jackson February 26, 20243:08 AM CSTUpdated 8 hours ago SYDNEY, Feb 26 (Reuters) - An Australian helicopter pilot and two local workers were released unharmed in Papua New Guinea on Monday within hours of being kidnapped at gunpoint in the remote highlands, police said, following negotiations with security forces. The three had landed at a remote telecoms site near Mount Sisa in the province of Hela when an armed group took them away, David Manning, the police commissioner of Papua New Guinea, said in a statement. |
Well I guess once the kidnappers figured out they took a heli pilot, they paid the ransom to the cops to take him back. That's how worthless they are.
