Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has released the Italian couple that has been held since Dec. 18, 2009, when the couple was abducted in southeast Mauritania. Sergio Cicala and his wife, Philomene Kaboure, were handed over to Malian authorities in the eastern Gao region. AQIM still holds two Spanish aid workers, who were kidnapped in November.
