Somali Gunmen Seek $1-Million for Kidnapped Aid Workers

Three Doctors Without Borders workers were kidnapped in Somalia over the weekend by gunmen who are demanding a $1-million ransom, reports Reuters.

The humanitarian organization confirmed on Monday that doctors from Belgium and Holland and a local worker were taken in an attack near the town of Rabdhure.

Attacks on relief organizations have forced many to scale back operations in Somalia, which has been mired in civil strife since 1991. More than 3 million Somalians depend on food aid, the news service said.
