 The French aid group Action Against Hunger (ACF) on Friday denied a Sudanese media report that eight of its workers had been kidnapped by armed men in the country's troubled western Darfur region. "There was indeed a security incident on February 2 on the outskirts of Al-Feshir (western Sudan). Two of the six vehicles in the convoy were seized, but the rest left without difficulty," a spokesman for the group told AFP. "No one was injured and no one was kidnapped," he said.| "Er, you'd like to interview them? They're um...washing their hair right now." |
Sudan's official news agency SUNA reported Friday that eight aid workers thought to belong to ACF were kidnapped Thursday near Al-Feshir by armed men linked to rebel movements in the region. SUNA said the team had called their Al-Feshir office to say they were in danger and failed to make further contact. |
