Kidnapped German family may still be alive in Yemen

A video from recent weeks in possession of the German government shows the three young children alive, an official revealed to the paper. “The children look exhausted,” the official said. The Saxony family of health workers Johannes and Sabine H. has not been seen since they were abducted along with four other foreigners in the country’s Saada province in mid-June. Authorities there believe that the kidnappers may be Shiite rebels from the mountainous region near the Saudi border. Three of the hostages – two German women and a South Korean woman - were found murdered by Yemeni authorities three days later.
