(Interpol via AP) (Associated Press)PARIS — Police in Sudan have rescued 94 victims of human trafficking, including 85 minors, from open-air gold mines near Khartoum and the city’s international airport among other places, Interpol said on Monday. The rescued victims came from a half-dozen countries including Chad, Eritrea, Niger, Congo and South Sudan. Police had access to Interpol databases containing records of millions of lost or stolen documents, the statement said. It was unclear what would become of the rescued victims, in particular whether any would eventually be returned home.
