NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania — Three Spanish aid workers were kidnapped by gunmen Sunday while delivering supplies to impoverished villages in the desert nation of Mauritania, an official said.
The two men and one woman were attacked on a 240- mile road that links the capital Nouakchott to Nouadhibou in the north, the official said.
“The Spaniards were inside their car traveling in the humanitarian convoy which had gone to distribute humanitarian aid to the poorest of the poor of Nouadhibou when the unknown gunmen started shooting at them before kidnapping them,” said a top police officer in the capital who declined to be identified.
