Senior businessman kidnapped in Aden

ADEN, Sept. 19 (YPA) – Militants of the UAE-funded Southern Transitional Council (STC) kidnapped on Tuesday one of the most famous businessmen in the city of Aden, south of Yemen.

Sources familiar with the matter said the businessmen, Abdul Karim Ahmed Al-Shaibani, who belongs to Taiz province, was kidnapped from his residence in a hotel in the coalition-held city.
