MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Gunmen kidnapped a German aid worker in northern Somalia on Tuesday after exchanging fire with his bodyguards, a local government official said.
Mohamud Said Nor, the governor of Sanag region, said the German man worked for a relief group called Agro Action. A foreign woman traveling with the man was not kidnapped, Nor said. The reasons were unclear.
Sanag is in an area claimed by both the semiautonomous region of Puntland and the breakaway republic of Somaliland.
