KABUL -- Two female foreign aid workers kidnapped last month were freed, along with two local Afghans, in a joint special forces operation in northeastern Afghanistan.
Five Taliban kidnappers were killed after the special forces stormed a cave in Badakhshan Province on Friday night.
Briton Helen Johnson and Kenyan Moragwe Oirere -- colleagues at Swiss-based charity Medair -- were freed unharmed along with two Afghan civilians after they were taken hostage May 22.
None of the special forces soldiers were injured in the assault.
