Ethiopian rebels who seized seven Chinese workers in a deadly raid on an oilfield have freed the hostages.

Ethiopian rebels who seized seven Chinese workers in a deadly raid on an oilfield have freed the hostages, the guerrillas and a spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Sunday.

"We handed them over to the ICRC," Adurahmin Mohammed Mahdi, a London-based spokesman for the Ogaden National Liberation Front rebels told Reuters by telephone. "They are all very healthy. They are uninjured and very happy."

An ICRC spokesman in Addis Ababa confirmed the news.
