The Aden News Agency learned from tribal sources in Shabwah province that local mediation led to agreement for the release of Chinese experts, who were kidnapped last Sunday, in Habban district in the south of Yemen.

The sources said that the mediation led by Sheikh Saleh Saeil, when he offered an arbitration in accordance with tribal customs, and abductors from the "Lakmoosh tribe" agreed to the release of the kidnapped Chinese experts.

Sheikh Mubarak Ba'raas said to the Aden News Agency, this morning, that the Yemeni government decided to send a delegation led by a number of sheikhs, including Sheikh Awad bin Al-Wazeer, Sheikh bin Saeil to the region to negotiate with the kidnappers, and denied any link between the incident of the kidnap and the Southern Movement.

The abduction of the Chinese experts came as a protest about the Yemeni government's neglect of maintaining no accountability for the killing of "Mohammed Mahdi Hydra Al-Qumishi" before more than a month in Shabwah, by security agents fired live bullets at his spine.
