The Spanish crew looked tired but elated after two weeks in captivity
Three Spanish aircrew detained in Chad over an alleged plot to abduct African children have been released.
They were driven out of the capital's main prison accompanied by their lawyer and the Spanish consul.
A Belgian pilot, who is recovering at a French military base in N'Djamena after suffering heart problems, is also free to leave Chad, officials said.
Six French members of the charity Zoe's Ark, alleged to be behind the plot, are awaiting trial on kidnapping charges.
The charity has said it was trying to rescue orphans from the war-torn province of Darfur in neighbouring Sudan, but aid workers say most of the children are Chadians with parents.
