Zoe's Ark came to Chad three months ago, they said to rescue orphans from the Darfur conflict in neighboring Sudan. They say they planned to fly the children to France to be placed with foster families.But Chad authorities said the children were not orphans and had been abducted. The children have told aid workers from the Red Cross and the United Nations they have families. The children are still in the care of the aid workers who are searching for their relatives.Defense lawyer Padare said testimony from Zoe's Ark's detained leader confirmed the aircrew did not have any role in the organization's activities in Chad. Padare said the judge ruled the crew members were there simply to operate the aircraft; and in the end,

Spanish authorities have promised if the judge needs to question the men again, they will return to Chad.But Padare said he believes, for the aircrew, the ordeal is over. And he said the four men are very relieved. They were overcome with emotion,
