Members of the Germany Army GSG9 unit disembark from an Airplane carrying five Germans and a Romanian woman who spent 10 days as hostages upon arrival from Egypt at Berlin’s Tegel Airport on September 30, 2008. They were part of a group of 19 hostages that also included five Italians, a Romanian and eight Egyptian drivers and tour guides seized by bandits in a lawless area of Egypt’s southwestern desert on September 19. They were freed unharmed in a pre-dawn raid by Egyptian special forces on Monday, according to officials in Egypt.
