Authorities in Yemen said Monday 15 June that the bodies of some of the nine tourists kidnapped 12 June while they were on a picnic have been found, but reports differ on the number of dead and whether two children who were with them have been spared and are now safe. The group, seven Germans, one British man and a South Korean woman, reportedly all worked at a hospital in the area, in the northwest of the country. AFP/BBC reports that three bodies were found, while TSR (Fre), citing agencies, says that seven bodies were found, including that of one of the children, but that the two other children are safe.
