Nigerian militants say Israeli hostage located

Nigerian militants said Thursday they knew where an Israeli kidnapped by gunmen was being held but withdrew their offer to help rescue him, accusing an Israeli news outlet of branding them as "terrorists".

Four gunmen abducted the 60-year-old project manager, who works for Israeli construction firm Gilmor Engineering Limited, from his home in the southern oil city of Port Harcourt late on Tuesday and fled by stealing his vehicle. (Reuters)
