Three foreign aid workers who were kidnapped in Kenya by Somali gunmen three months ago have been freed.

The three employees of the French agency Action Against Hunger were being flown to Nairobi from Somalia.

They are reported to be in good health and are having medical checks before being reunited with friends and family.

It was not clear if a ransom was paid for the release of the hostages, who were seized in a cross-border raid.
