Mauritania

An Italian has apparently been kidnapped from his 4×4 vehicle in Mauritania near the Mali border. The Italian man and his wife, originally from Burkina Faso, are suspected of being abducted by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. The abductions of the Italian nationals comes just weeks after the kidnapping of three Spanish nationals in Mauritania, which has prompted shakeups in the country’s security apparatus.
