KHARTOUM, Sudan — The Italian foreign ministry said Friday that three foreign-aid workers being held hostage in Darfur had been released, but representatives for their aid organization could not confirm that they had been freed.

Representatives for Doctors Without Borders, where the hostages worked, said they have not been in touch with them since reports surfaced of their release late Friday.

The group — a Canadian nurse, Italian doctor and French coordinator — was kidnapped from the volatile Darfur region Wednesday when armed gunmen broke into their compound.
