NIAMEY, July 10 (Reuters) - Tuareg-led rebels in northern Niger on Tuesday released a Chinese uranium executive they kidnapped four days ago, a military source in the West African country said.

The source, who asked not to be named, said Zhang Guohua, an executive at China Nuclear International Uranium Corp. (Sino-U), was being handed over to the Red Cross and could be back in the capital Niamey by Wednesday.
