Ugandan police say they have rescued an American woman and her driver who had been kidnapped by gunmen in a national park.
KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan police said on Sunday they had rescued an American woman and her driver who had been kidnapped by gunmen in a national park.
They were ambushed on April 2 in Queen Elizabeth National Park, a protected area near the porous border with Congo, according to Ugandan authorities. It remains unclear if a ransom was paid in the case of Endicott, who is from Costa Mesa, California, where she has a small skin care shop. In a Friday statement, the State Department said that the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad is its highest priority.
