ADEN (AFP)--Tribal gunmen kidnapped on Monday a Swiss man working for the International Committee of the Red Cross in southern Yemen, a leader of local pro-government militia said.
The gunmen who belong to Al-Marakisha tribe kidnapped the man in the city of Jaar, in Abyan province, said Hussein al-Wahayshi, a local commander of the Popular Resistance Committees.
Gunmen from the same tribe briefly held two Indian ICRC staff last week.
