Two foreign aid workers kidnapped in Somalia | Reuters: "MOGADISHU, May 10 (Reuters) - Gunmen kidnapped one British and one Kenyan aid worker in northern Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region, officials said on Thursday.
CARE International said the Briton, who is from Northern Ireland, and his colleague had been missing in the Horn of Africa nation since at least Wednesday. A diplomatic source said the incident did not appear to be terrorism-related.
'This is horrible news. We are so sad for the aid workers who are helping our people. We will do everything possible, even if it means using force, to release the hostages,' Puntland's interior and security minister Mohamed Abdi told reporters.
A reporter in Puntland's capital Bossasso said he had spoken to the kidnappers' accomplices who said the hostages were safe."
