“Weeks of anxiety for the McCabe family of Slidell ended in a joyful reunion at Louis Armstrong International Airport on Monday evening as Mark McCabe, released after two months of detention in South Sudan, came home.
“…Then he gathered himself together and quipped, “Are you sure we’re not still in Africa? I didn’t think this day would ever come. I love the United States, I love this state. I love my family. I don’t know Mr. Vitter, but I’m going to shake his hand.”
“Sen. David Vitter had worked to secure McCabe’s release since McCabe was taken into custody in mid-October by South Sudan’s National Security Service, which accused him of trying to kidnap an Indian businessman. All charges against McCabe were dropped late last month, and he was cleared to leave the country by the South Sudan government Thursday.”
