No Word on Cuban Doctors Abducted From Kenya 4 Months Later
120 days later, little is known about the government's efforts to rescue Dr Landy Rodriguez - a surgeon and Dr Herera Correa - a general practitioner, who were kidnapped in a daring road ambush by suspected Al-Shabaab militants who killed one of the police officers escorting them. A recent security report showed that the doctors were reportedly moved to Halaanqo Forest near Barawe Town where they were allegedly converted to Islam.
