A Canadian electrical engineer and a Colombian man have been kidnapped by armed men in rural Colombia. Col. Ruben Alzate says 46-year-old Thomas Orland MacLean and 48-year-old Jesus Salvador Aristizabal were intercepted by two gunmen as they traveled on a highway near Tulua, a town 150 miles (240 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Bogota. Alzate says the abduction took place on June 26 and the identities of the abductors is not known. He said Friday that authorities have offered a US$5,700 reward for information leading to the men’s return.
