Al-Qaida Holding 2 Canadians Hostage

CFRA News Staff
Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Al-Qaida members in North Africa say they are holding two Canadian diplomats and four western tourists hostage. The authenticity of the statement could not be independently verified, but was confirmed by a U.S. organization that monitors militant messages.

United Nations envoy Robert Fowler and his aide Louis Guay disappeared in Niger on December 14th. Western intelligence officials in Algeria say they believed the Canadian diplomats were first abducted by local gunmen and later traded to Al-Qaida.

A tour operator says four tourists, two Swiss, a German woman and a British man, were taken hostage by unidentified gunmen on January 22nd in Mali.

Canada’s Foreign Affairs department says it’s aware of the latest report, but has no further comment.

-------See you tomorrow. :-)
