Dror Weinstein, an Israeli businessman in his sixties who was kidnapped in Ghana last week, was released in a commando operation conducted by Ghanaian security forces aided by the Israeli Police. The Foreign Ministry reported several days ago that Ghanaian authorities had turned to the Israel Police for help in securing Weinstein's release and that the police had assisted the Ghanaians by giving instructions to their security forces and by sending an expert to the West African country.
