Spain seeks media discretion regarding abducted aid workers
[Maghrebia] The three aid workers held by al-Qaeda in Mali are reportedly faring well, Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said Thursday (January 21st) on Spanish television channel Cuatro. Speaking at a press conference later in the day, Moratinos called for "maximum discretion" from the media as negotiations to free the hostages proceed. Albert Vilalta, 35, Alicia Gamez, 35, and Roque Pascual, 50, were abducted in Mauritania last November. They work for a Catalan "solidarity caravan" that transports humanitarian aid to Mauritania, Morocco, Gambia, Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. Posted by: Fred 2010-01-23 |
