Italian Hostage freed.

"They never touched me"... Kidnapper said he was her brother.....Clementina Cantoni identifies Afghan kidnapper ROME: Freed Italian hostage Clementina Cantoni identified a picture of her main kidnapper and told Italian authorities that she was never hurt nor threatened during her three weeks in captivity, Italian newspapers reported Saturday. Cantoni, who was released Thursday, said her hostage takers numbered between four and six and their leader introduced himself immediately as Timur Shah. “Tell me what is your brother’s name, because from now on I am your brother,” the aid worker quoted Shah as saying after her capture on May 16, according to daily Corriere della Sera. Cantoni, immediately questioned by Italy’s anti-terrorism unit upon her arrival in Italy Friday, was shown a picture of Shah and identified him as the gang leader who led her kidnapping. Apart from being tied by the ankles during the night and never being allowed a change of clothes, Cantoni said she was never mistreated or threatened. “They never touched me,” Cantoni told prosecutors, according to La Repubblica, adding that her captors allowed her to watch television and sometimes gave her newspapers in English.
