Two Indian Red Cross staff kidnapped in Yemen

Armed tribesmen kidnapped two Indian Red Cross workers in south Yemen today, a spokeswoman for the organisation and local sources said.
"Gunmen intercepted two Indian Red Cross workers in Jaar (in Abyan province) and led them at gunpoint to a mountainous region," a member of a pro-government local militia controlling the town told AFP.
Dibeh Fakhr, Middle East spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, confirmed the kidnapping, saying that negotiations were ongoing to secure their release.
