 MEKELE, Ethiopia (AP) - Investigators were working "around the clock" to find five Europeans linked to the British Embassy, but no one has claimed responsibility for their disappearance or made any demands, officials said Tuesday.
The five Europeans were in a tour group, which included 13 Ethiopian drivers and translators, that disappeared Thursday while traveling in Ethiopia's Afar region, a barren expanse of salt mines and volcanoes 500 miles northeast of the capital, Addis Ababa.
The five are employees of the British Embassy in Addis Ababa, or their relatives. A spokesman for the British Foreign Office and the French foreign minister said one of the five is French.
