two Spaniards, who work with the international humanitarian organization Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) were kidnapped today in Puntland, northern Somalia. They said their driver and a local official. The kidnapping should be completed quickly since, according to the English ambassador in Nairobi, the kidnappers have already given up and are "asking that he be guaranteed safety." The two women are the English doctor kidnapped Mercedes Garc ¡a and Argentine nurse Pilar Bouza. "I was carrying the two women at the local hospital, when six men armed with pistols approached, blocking the road," said the Somali driver, who requested anonymity. "They beat me very badly and kidnapped the women taking them away with their car," he added. The kidnapping, in the port of Bosasso, took place two days after gunmen in Puntland released French journalist Gwen LeGouil, kidnapped and held hostage for eight days to get a ransom of $ 80,000.
