Five men have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of two European journalists in Somalia, Reuters has reported.
The journalists – a British reporter and a Spanish photographer – were seized on Wednesday and are being held in the hills east of Bosasso, according to reports.
The Governor of Bosasso told Reuters: “After investigation we have arrested five men who worked with those who kidnapped the two foreign journalists. We have sent troops to save them”.
