Two Italian female aid workers that were captured by al Qaeda were released on Thursday, the Telegraph reported. Vanessa Marzullo and Greta Ramelli were kidnapped by Jabhat Al-Nusra, an al Qaeda affiliate in Syria, six months ago while working on aid projects in Aleppo.

It is unknown if a ransom was paid in this case.
