SAFRICA-YEMEN-UNREST-QAEDA-KORKIE

The widow of slain South African hostage Pierre Korkie, Yolanda Korkie, gives a press conference on December 9, 2014 at the Gift of the Givers charity headquarters in Johannesburg as her husband's body was returned home from Yemen. It was her first public appeareance since her 56-year-old husband was killed in a failed rescue bid by US special forces on December 6. Korkie and Yolande were seized in May 2013 in Yemen's second city of Taiz by members of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Yolande was released in January following mediation by the Gift of the Givers, which said Pierre's release was only hours away when an operation was launched to free an American captive held by the same militants. Both Korkie and the US captive, photojournalist Luke Somers, were killed by the Al-Qaeda militants during the raid.
