Ten Tunisian diplomatic staff kidnapped by gunmen from the consulate in the Libyan capital Tripoli a week ago have been freed and have returned home safely, the Tunisian government said on Friday.
Three of the 10 Tunisians had been freed earlier in the week after negotiations between the captors and Libya's self-declared government.
"They have been freed and they have already arrived in Tunis this Friday," Tunisian Foreign Minister Taieb Bakouch told Reuters .
He gave no details about negotiations to free the staff.
