Somalia: Workers for a Danish aid group abducted
Gunmen have abducted three aid workers employed by the Danish Demining Group in north-central Somalia.
The Danish aid agency said a Somali national was taken along with two international staff members taken - a US woman and a Danish man.A Somali security official told reporters they were kidnapped near the airport at Galkayo town.
Earlier this month two Spanish aid workers were taken from a refugee camp over the border in neighbouring Kenya.
Since September, there have been a spate of kidnappings of foreigners in Kenya, which Nairobi has blamed on the Somali Islamist group al-Shabab.
The group has denied any involvement.
Galkayo is not in al-Shabab territory.
