British Tourist, Kidnapped in Kenya, May Be in Central Somalia

In Nairobi, Kenya a group of pirates kidnapped a British woman. There are witnesses that can confirm the fact that a notorious pirate ship landed in Somalia and they had a female hostage with them. Judith Tebbutt was kidnapped on Sept. 11, as she was being kidnapped her husband was trying to protect her, but the pirates shot and killed him. Because of the fact that the kidnapping occurred on land in Kenya, the government officials believe that this is the work of an anti-Western Islamist group. They are also thinking that due to the date of this kidnapping it might have a connection to the anniversary of 9/11. But the case is still going on, because the hostage has not been retrieved yet.
