Amanda Lindhout says she pities ‘deeply wounded’ Somali captors

Amanda Lindhout, the free-lance journalist who was kidnapped and beaten in Somalia, says she bears no grudge against the war-torn country. She spoke publicly Sunday for the first time since she was freed on Nov. 25, telling a Calgary audience that her "thoughts and prayers remain with those who continue to suffer in Somalia."

"It's very important for me to say I do not see the men who kidnapped me as a reflection of Somali society as a whole," she told Alberta's Somali-Canadian community Sunday.
