Twenty-three Egyptian workers kidnapped in Libya were freed and returned to their country on Friday, Egyptian state television reported.

One of the freed Egyptians told state television they had been kidnapped by people demanding ransom, in an interview at a border crossing between the neighbouring North African countries.

State television reported they were freed by "Libyan special forces in coordination with the Egyptian general intelligence service".

It aired footage of the workers arriving at the border crossing, waving Egyptian flags and prostrating themselves to God in gratitude.
