Two unidentified Western hostages who survived a gun battle in Yemen carry their bags through the lobby of a hotel past a christmas tree December 31. The hostages were freed from their captors by Yemeni soldiers in a shootout during which three Britons and an Australian hostage were killed. A guerrilla group called Aden-Abyan Islamic Army claimed responsibility for the kidnappings and blamed Yemen for the hostage deaths.
