JEDDAH: Interpol officers rescued a 52-year-old Saudi woman from a Sudanese shepherd who took her to his country in 2004 and kept her there until recently, local Arabic daily Al-Watan reported on Thursday.
According to the newspaper, the kidnapper identified as Y. Ismail convinced the Saudi woman, who he was working for, that treatment was available in his country for her mentally ill daughter.
She fell for the trick and sold her gold ornaments for SR60,000 before leaving her home in Badr, 150km southwest of Madinah.
