HK aid worker shot in Aceh returns home<\/p>\n
Associated Press, Hong Kong<\/p>\n
A Hong Kong Red Cross aid worker, shot while serving in
\nIndonesia's tsunami-ravaged Aceh province, returned home on
\nTuesday to continue her recovery at a local hospital.<\/p>\n
Eva Yeung (center on a stretcher) said after arriving from
\nSingapore that she enjoyed working in Aceh and the aid mission
\nthere must continue.<\/p>\n
\"I was very happy working there. I also believe that
\nhumanitarian work there must carry on,\" she told reporters from a
\nstretcher.<\/p>\n
Yeung appeared in good spirits. \"Her condition is very good,\"
\nHong Kong Red Cross spokeswoman Almen Chui said.<\/p>\n
Rebels and government forces have blamed each other for the
\nattack last Wednesday on Yeung's Red Cross vehicle. About 12,000
\npeople have died in separatist fighting in Aceh since 1976.<\/p>\n
After the shooting, Yeung was evacuated to Singapore, where
\nsurgeons removed bullet fragments from her neck.<\/p>\n
She was the first foreigner shot in Aceh since the province
\nwas devastated by the Dec. 26 earthquake and the massive tsunami
\nit triggered.<\/p>",
