Three Spanish humanitarian workers, two men and a woman, were abducted Sunday in Mauritania as they travelled in a convoy. The convoy, which left Barcelona two weeks ago carrying members of the Barcelona-Accio NGO, had planned to donate computers and sewing machines to several communities in a number of African countries. Before their abduction, they had gone through Morocco, and were expected in Senegal and The Gambia. The attack took place between Nouakchott, the Mauritanian capital, and Nouadhibou, on the Atlantic coast, says Romandie News.
