Two Kenyans kidnapped at gunpoint from Somalian printing shop

Nov 9, 2009, 11:20 GMT

Mogadishu - Two Kenyans working at a printing shop in the Somali capital of Mogadishu were abducted by a group of masked gunmen, witnesses told the German Press Agency dpa Monday. The two men - one a Muslim, the other a Christian - were forced to leave by the 12 gunmen late Sunday. 'Nobody knows about their whereabouts,' a neighbouring shopkeeper told dpa. It was not clear if the abduction was a simply kidnapping or if there were political motives for it. The radical Muslim al-Shabaab group, which seeks to overthrow the government, has accused Kenya several times in recent weeks of sending fighters to Somalia to support the wobbly regime. The war- torn country has not had an effective government since 1991.
