The aid workers employed by Swiss-based Medair were making their way to flood stricken parts of Badakhshan province last month when they were taken away. "It was a successful operation conducted by troops and all five aid workers have been released," said Shamul Rahman Shams, the deputy governor of Badakhshan. He said four hostage-takers were killed in the operation late on Friday.
