Sana'a - Four Belgian tourists held hostage by armed tribesman returned to the Yemeni capital yesterday in good health after being treated as "guests" for four days by their kidnappers. One of the Belgians said the kidnappers were demanding the release of a fellow tribesman held in a Saudi prison and 30,000 Saudi riyals ($8,000) in cash.
The kidnappers had agreed to their release in return from a promise by the authorities to look into their grievances.
