Scotsman Kidnapped - 2 Brits now in day 82 of captivity
SAS,
A Scots employee of an Aberdeen company was kidnapped from his car in Port Harcourt on Thursday night. This has been confirmed by the Foreign Office, but more details are not being released in case it hinders efforts for his release.
Two further Bris who were kidnapped from the vessel HD Blue Ocean at the entrance to the Sambreiro River on 9 September are still being held by militants who are refusing to release them in a protest against UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s pledge to help the country fight terrorism. The UK press seems to have forgotten them and there is no word as to whether they may be released soon. I hope something happens to break the deadlock and let the men be released before Christmas. Unlike some of the other hostage takings, there seem to have been no visits or phone calls allowed to the two men.
