Captors release priest without getting $2 million ransom

After one month of hiking through jungles and sleeping in swamps in the Philippines, Irish priest Michael Sinnott was released by captors today. Sinnott had left for the Philippines in 1957 and worked there ever since. On October 11, he was abducted from his home and taken by foot across the jungle. Sinnott says he was never physically harmed but complained of uncertainty of being released, the trying conditions, and his monotonous diet.
