Following the depressing reports from Afghanistan and Darfur, finally a little good news.  John Solecki, a UNHCR official kidnapped two months ago in Pakistan, has finally been released.

Also, one of the three Red Cross staff kidnapped in the Philippines in January was released on Friday.  The other two - Eugenio Vagni and Andreas Notter - are still being held hostage.
