Suspected Islamist gunmen have kidnapped two Kenyans working for a printing firm in Somalia's capital. They were seized by a group of 10 masked men from a shop in Mogadishu's main Bakara market, controlled by the Islamist al-Shabab militia. Two Somalis seized at the same time late on Sunday have since been freed. Aid workers and foreigners are frequently kidnapped in Somalia, which has not had a functioning national government for 18 years. The men were hired as technicians by the Hamar Ade printing firm. The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan says the company prints billboards, receipts and books.Last year, a Kenyan teacher was seized but was later released. Two journalists from Canada and Australia are currently being held. Several sailors are also being held by pirates in northern Somalia. The UN-backed government only controls a few areas of Mogadishu. Source: BBC News  Share this article with others:      The comment section is restricted to members only. |
