US missionary abducted in Niger capital: Diplomatic sources

A U.S. missionary working for evangelical Christian organisation SIM has been abducted in Niger's capital Niamey, sources close to the case and diplomatic sources said Wednesday.

The unnamed victim, a man in his 50s, is "already en route for the border with Mali," a diplomatic source said after his seizure Tuesday in the latest in a spate of kidnaps of westerners in Niger this year.
