Tape of Kidnapped Aid Worker Is Shown
From Times Wire Reports
A video of a kidnapped Italian aid worker was broadcast on Afghan television, showing her wrapped in a blanket, flanked by men aiming rifles at her head.
Clementina Cantoni, 32, a worker for CARE International, responded to prompts from a man off-camera, identifying herself and naming her father, mother and an uncle.
It was unclear when the video was made. Italy’s Foreign Ministry said contacts were continuing and that the video indicated Cantoni was in good health.
