Aid workers kidnapped in Somalia

December 26, 2007

The women's car was ambushed by a gang with machine-guns in Bosasso port as they drove to a local hospital. It's the latest abduction in the semi-autonomous northern Puntland region of Somalia. It comes two days after gunmen in Puntland released French journalist Gwen Le Gouil. He'd been kidnapped and held for eight days - his captors demanding $80,000 in ransom.
