World News - NATO rescues doctors kidnapped by Taliban in 'extraordinarily brave' operation

Handout / Reuters/Aid worker Helen Johnston, seen in this undated family photograph released by Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, was rescued from her Taliban captors Saturday.
A NATO rescue team dropped by helicopter in remote mountains of northern Afghanistan early on Saturday freed four aid workers, including two doctors, who had been seized by the Taliban last month, the alliance said. 

The aid workers, employed by Swiss-based Medair, were en route to flood-stricken parts of Badakhshan province when they were kidnapped.
