Spaniard rescued from Mali border kidnapping thanks Algerian authorities: Video
A Spanish national, Joaquin Navarro, has expressed his gratitude to Algerian authorities following his rescue from an armed group in the volatile border region between Algeria and Mali.
Navarro was abducted last week while traveling in the area, known for ongoing instability and militant activity. His safe return was confirmed on Tuesday when Algerian national television aired footage of his arrival at a military airport near Algiers.
The Spaniard was flown aboard a military jet from Tin Zaouatine, Algeria’s southernmost commune near the Mali border, where the operation to secure his release reportedly took place.
While details surrounding the rescue mission remain undisclosed, but Algerian officials emphasised their commitment to combating cross-border threats and ensuring the safety of foreign nationals in the region.
