Somali kidnappers threaten to kill Canadian journalist, Amanda
Lindhout and Australian photographer, Nigel Brennan if ransom is not paid.
Press TV's correspondent in Mogadishu reported on Monday that one of
the kidnappers said if the $2.5 million ransom was not paid in 15
days, the journalists would be killed.
Lindhout and Brennan were kidnapped while en route to Hawa Abdi
refugee camp in Afgoye -- a city located 28 km southwest of Mogadishu
-- from the Somali capital, on August 23.
Lindhout, 27, a freelance television and print reporter from Sylvan
Lake, Alberta, filed stories from Iraq on behalf of Press TV, Iran's
24-hour English-language news channel.
The abduction comes amid the unrest that continues unabated in
Somalia. Years of fighting between rival warlords and the inability
to deal with famine and disease have so far resulted in the death of
hundreds of thousands of people.
Journalists are frequently taken hostage for ransom in the Horn of
Africa country.

Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue
with Your help,
so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be happily ended.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
