Libya frees 3 Dutch marines, flown to Athens - but at what price to Holland?

Three Dutch marines who were captured after a botched evacuation mission in Libya last month arrived in Athens Friday on board a Greek military transport plane.

The three — two men and a woman — arrived at Athens Airport shortly after 6 a.m. (0400GMT) after Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitris Dollis flew to Tripoli late Thursday to pick them up. Twelve Greek evacuees from Libya were also on board the plane.

The three, in good health, smiled as they walked down the ramp of the plane.
