CARACAS, Venezuela ? A Mexican diplomat in Venezuela says the country's ambassador has been freed by captors hours after he and his wife were kidnapped.

Mexican Embassy spokesman Fernando Gondinez tells the Venezuelan news website Noticias 24 that Ambassador Carlos Pujalte was kidnapped Sunday night in Caracas and was freed hours later.

Gondinez says both the ambassador and his wife are in good condition. He did not offer details about how the abduction occurred or about the liberation.

Venezuela has one of Latin America's highest murder rates, and the numbers of kidnappings have risen in recent years.
