Kidnappers demand $500,000 ransom for US tourist snatched in Uganda
Gunmen who kidnapped an American tourist and her driver in a Ugandan national park have demanded a ransom of $500,000 (445,000 euros), police say as they launched a hunt for the perpetrators.
“The kidnappers, using the victim’s phone, have demanded $500,000. We strongly believe this ransom is the reason behind the kidnap,” says a statement from police spokeswoman Polly Namaye.
