GAZA: Palestinian militants kidnapped a Spanish aid worker in the Gaza Strip on Monday, a Palestinian security source and the Spanish organisation said.
The kidnapped man was identified as Roberto Villa Sexto, 32, of the Cooperative Assembly for Peace, a Spanish charity. He had been working in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank for two years, the organisation’s spokeswoman said in Madrid.
“He was in the organisation’s car with a (female) colleague. They (the kidnappers) stopped the car and made him get out and took him away,” Joana Modolell said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the abduction, the latest in a series of such kidnappings in the coastal territory.—Reuters
