MAPUTO, Mozambique — Six American members of a missionary medical team seized by soldiers last week were released today, U.S. officials said.
State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler said in Washington that the Americans had been freed in good condition and would meet with U.S. officials in Maputo.
The Mozambican government said earlier today that the Americans were traveling with a Briton previously linked to spying for rebels. The Americans were detained last week near the border with Malawi. The group that sent the Americans said the Briton was acting as their guide.
