Kenyan printers seized in Somalia

Mogadishu, 09 Nov-(ANA)-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. (ANA)
