WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Eight Western aid workers held by the Taliban in Afghanistan (news - web sites) have been released, U.S. officials said on Wednesday. "They are in safe hands and they're on their way to Pakistan." one official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. A second U.S. official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said the two Americans, Australians and four Germans had been lifted out by a U.S. military helicopter. No further details of the circumstances of their release were immediately available. At a Waco, Texas, church where the two Americans among the group, Heather Mercer and Dayna Curry, were members, people greeted the news of with delight. "We're very excited. There's been lots of hooting and hollering around here since we heard the news," said church employee Sara Selke. Mercer and Curry were members of the evangelical, non-denominational Antioch Community Church when they attended nearby Baylor University. The 1,000-member church has kept up a 24-hour prayer vigil for the women for weeks. dailynews.yahoo.com
