Two foreign aid workers kidnapped in Somalia are apparently being fed in captivity and police are on the trail of the gunmen who abducted them, officials said Friday.
The victims, women who work for the international aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Borders, were kidnapped Wednesday in Puntland, a semiautonomous region of northern Somalia. ''We have heard from several sources that the two aid workers are receiving food and water,'' Paula Farias, MSF president in Spain, said of the captives. The region's deputy governor, Yusuf Mumin Bidde, also said they were believed to be in ''safe condition.'' (AP)
