Militants allied with al-Qaeda abducted three Spanish aid workers Nov. 29 just days after a French citizen was kidnapped in neighboring Mali by al-Qaeda’s North African branch. The Sahel region, which includes both countries, has seen several kidnappings of Westerners in recent months and remains dangerous. The Spanish aid workers were in the last car in a convoy of vehicles delivering donations to small towns on the road from Nouadhibou to the capital Nouakchott when they were cut off by armed men in a 4×4 vehicle.
