DUBAI: Three Emiratis arrested in Tanzania after a deadly attack on a church there a week ago have been freed and are back home, the Al-Khaleej daily reported yesterday.
Tanzanian authorities had arrested them “because they happened, by chance, to be at the site of the attack,” the paper said, citing tweets of the UAE Foreign Ministry.
The trio were released with the foreign ministry’s help following “coordination between the UAE Embassy and Tanzania,” it said.
The report quoted “informed sources” as saying that the three Emiratis had returned home.
