TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Two Tunisian diplomats held for months by gunmen in Libya flew home Monday to an airport welcome by the president and other top officials.

The men were kidnapped in March and April by an extremist armed group demanding the release of Libyans imprisoned in Tunisia. It is not clear what deal led to their release.
