A picture taken in Berlin shows German aid worker Christina Barbara Meier, abducted in Kabul two days ago in Kabul, was rescued by police early Monday, an officer involved in the operation and an official said.

 

The German aid worker was taken hostage Saturday afternoon in the western part of the Afghan capital.

 

A number of kidnappers were arrested in Monday's rescue operation, Bashari said.
