British teacher David Bolam has been released after being held hostage by militants in Libya since May.
The Foreign Office said Mr Bolam, who taught at the now-closed International School Benghazi, was “safe and well” and had been reunited with his family.
Mr Bolam’s MP in Craven Arms in Shropshire said he was “delighted” that the 63-year-old was back home safely.
It is thought the teacher’s release was secured by local political factions and that money changed hands.
Mr Bolam’s kidnapping had not been reported at the request of the Foreign Office and his family.
