July 11, 2012 - On 11th July 2012 at approximately 5:30pm a team from the relief agency International Aid Services, was attacked by an armed group of people near Galkayo, in Puntland. The team was travelling in two vehicles including an escort car with three armed Puntland Police Officers who were overpowered by the attackers.
One local staff was shot and critically injured and three Kenyan expatriates were kidnapped and taken to an unknown destination. IAS is in touch with the relevant authorities in Galkayo and sorrounding areas to facilitate release of our staff. In the meantime our hearts and thoughts and prayers are with our staff and their families. We trust that this matter will be resolved soonest possible.
