By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) - A 25-year-old British human rights worker and her parents were freed in the Gaza Strip on Friday by the Palestinian gunmen who kidnapped them two days earlier, British and Palestinian officials said. Kate Burton and her visiting parents Hugh and Helen were kidnapped on Wednesday in the chaotic southern town of Rafah, on the border with Egypt. "They are secure and in good hands," said a senior Palestinian security official. A British official said he had been informed of their release and was waiting for them at a meeting point in Gaza City. Witnesses said around seven kidnappers, armed with automatic rifles, pulled over a car used by Burton and her parents.
