A pro-government Somali militia group has rescued four aid-workers abducted in Kenya last week.

In a report by CBC News, the group announced on Monday morning that one militant was killed and three managed to flee the fire fight. The rescue operation occurred thirty-five kilometers from the Kenyan border in Somalia.

The four released hostages included one Norwegian, one Filipino and two Canadians. They were flown to Nairobi and are said to be in good condition.

the attack happened last Friday in the Kenyan city of Dadaab. A Kenyan driver was killed by the militants and two other Kenyans were wounded.
