Two Japanese women kidnapped in Yemen
The official said the kidnappers were believed to be tribesmen and the two women were part of a group of five tourists sightseeing near the old dam of Marib, a major tourist attraction. "They took them in their vehicle and kicked away their Yemeni driver," he said. Scores of holidaymakers and foreigners working in Yemen have been kidnapped over the past decade by tribesmen demanding better schools, roads and services, or the release of prisoners. Most have been released unharmed Posted by: Steve White 2008-05-08 |
