Kidnapped Californian boys to return home this week

Three boys kidnapped from their homes in California in 2008 are expected to return to the US later this week after being reunited with their mothers, the Telegraaf reports.


The boys, aged 14, 11 and 12, were found along with their fathers, who are brothers, in a refugee centre in Dronten after the FBI and Los Angeles police alerted the Dutch authorities.
The fathers, George and John Silah, are being held in jail pending an extradition request.
Dutch police will not say how long the men and boys have been in the Netherlands or how they apparently got here.
