Two Italians and a Canadian citizen kidnapped in southern Libya in September have been freed unharmed and brought to Italy. The men, technicians working on an airport construction project, were seized September 19 by armed, masked men who blocked their vehicle in Ghat, a Sahara Desert city in southwestern Libya near the border with Algeria. Italy identified the Italians as Danilo Calonego and Bruno Cacace and the Canadian citizen as Frank Poccia. Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said the two Italians had not been mistreated during their captivity and were in good health. Originally published as 2 Italians, Canadian freed in Libya
