The head of the U.N. refugee agency in Somalia’s capital was seized from his home by armed men, the agency said Sunday.
The man, a Somali who works for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, was taken Saturday night, said Millicent Mutuli, a spokeswoman for the UNHCR in neighboring Kenya.
“We have received reports that the head of the UNHCR office in Mogadishu, a Somali national, has been apparently abducted from his home in the Mogadishu area by unknown men,” she said.
She had no further details.
Relatives identified the worker as Hassan Mohamed Ali, who lives just outside the capital.
