translated from Spanish: Sedena lieutenant colonel who was kidnapped in Puebla is released

The infantry lieutenant colonel of the Ministry of National Defense, Guillermo Lira Hernández, kidnapped last Saturday in Tepexco, Puebla, was released on Monday, the governor of Poblano, Miguel Barbosa, reported.
Without giving further details, Barbosa noted that the lieutenant was released in a municipality near the Siglo XXI highway and is already in the hands of the Attorney General’s Office of Puebla.
“He was released a few minutes ago, there’s a whole mobilization (…) it’s an auxiliary board in a municipality around the highway (…) it’s already with us,” Barbosa said at a press conference.
According to local media Lira Hernández was kidnapped on Saturday afternoon while on his way to the municipality of Izúcar de Matamoros to see his family, from the Military College in Mexico City.
The last phone contact between the lieutenant and his wife was around 4pm. A couple of hours later she reported the disappearance to the authorities.
Initial investigations established that the last GPS record of the lieutenant’s car was in the municipality of Tepexco, so a strong security operation was implemented in the area.
