SOMALI AID WORKERS ?SAFE AND SOUND?

FIVE Western aid workers caught up in fighting in the Somali capital this week have arrived safe and sound in Nairobi, but four UN employees are still in the hands of gunmen thought to be loyal to Mogadishu warlord Musa Sudi Yalahow after being abducted during a gunfight. The five said they were not hostages, but were taken to a house for their own safety. – AFP
