NIAMEY, July 10 (Reuters) - Tuareg-led rebels in northern Niger said on Tuesday they planned to release to the Red Cross a Chinese uranium executive kidnapped four days ago in the remote Saharan oasis town of Ingall. "We are waiting for the Red Cross," Aghaly ag Alambo, leader of the rebel Niger Movement for Justice (MNJ), told Reuters by satellite phone from northern Niger. "(The release) is going to happen without the government being involved."
