Washington--An American citizen who had been held in Yemen has been freed and sent to Oman where he was met by the US ambassador, a US official told AFP Monday.

The news came after it was revealed that several Americans are imprisoned in war-torn Yemen. "I can confirm that a formally detained US citizen has departed Yemen and is currently in Muscat, Oman," a State Department official said.
