Police in the northern Somali breakaway region of Puntland on Thursday combed the port city of Bosasso and its surrounding area for four kidnapped journalists, including a Spaniard and a Briton, an official said.
"I met with the commander of the police. He said he is expecting some new information soon. The police are still investigating their whereabouts," Abdulkebir Musa, Puntland's assistant minister for seaports, told AFP.
The four journalists were captured on Wednesday, apparently as they were leaving their hotel for the airport.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the abduction, the latest in a string of kidnappings and attacks targeting foreign journalists and aid workers in Somalia, a country ravaged by conflict and starvation.
