``The crew members were rescued this afternoon, and they are generally in good health,'' said US Embassy spokesman Stan Harsher last weekend.
A British high commission official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, concurred and said the embassy had hoped to speak to the crew on Sunday.
US and British officials could not confirm what the group was doing in Namibia, nor the circumstances of their apparent disappearance, which was reported earlier last week.
A Los Angeles-based publicist, Sherri Spillane, said the team went missing after being chased out of a village where they were trying to film a documentary on witchcraft. A helicopter pilot sent to collect the team failed to connect with them, she said. -- agencies
