Mogadishu: Four journalists have been kidnapped in Somalia's Puntland state, authorities said on Saturday.
The four, including a British and Spanish citizen, were kidnapped in the Bossaso region on Wednesday while investigating piracy in the Gulf of Aden.
Regional governor Musa Gueleh Yusuf said at least 60 policemen had been deployed around the hideout where the journalists were being held.
"The policemen are around their hideout. After two, three hours, they'll have the hostages with them," Yusuf said without specifying the location.
