An Italian aid worker kidnapped in
Syria in 2013 arrived in Rome on Tuesday morning, a day after
being released.
Federico Motka was "very tired but well" according to
Italian Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini, who went to Rome's
Ciampino airport to meet him.
Motka was released on Monday near the Turkish border, over
14 months after being taken prisoner on March 12, 2013.
Mogherini thanked the foreign ministry and the Italian
security services for the successful outcome to the case and
Motka's family for their faith in the public institutions.
