Burkina Faso's army has freed 66 women and children who were abducted earlier this month by Islamic extremists while gathering food in the country's northern Sahel region, according to a state television report Friday.
More than 60 people were abducted a week ago while searching for food in an area blockaded by insurgents. On Friday, the military said the captives had been released.
