Kuwait says three citizens abducted in Syria
Kuwait said three of its citizens have been kidnapped in Syria and it has asked Turkey for help in trying to secure their release.
It was not clear why the Kuwaitis were in Syria or who abducted them. Some Gulf Arab citizens have entered Syria to join rebels fighting the forces of President Bashar Assad.
"There were three Kuwaitis kidnapped in Syria. The Foreign Ministry is following this matter," Kuwait's undersecretary for foreign affairs Khaled al-Jarallah told reporters late Wednesday.
Kuwait has been in contact with authorities in Turkey, which borders Syria, to try to secure their release, he said. (Reuters)
