FBI involved in US tourist kidnapping in Uganda

April 7, 2019 by Forimmediaterelease

An American tourist and her Ugandan driver were kidnapped at gunpoint in Uganda’s most known National Park Queen Elizabeth National Park on Tuesday.

“We will leave no stone unturned until the situation is corrected”, are the words of Uganda Tourism Minister Godfrey Kiwanda standing on the point the tourist was kidnapped close to the border to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

An elite army unit is searching the area, the border to Congo is closed and the FBI is actively part of the negotiations with the kidnappers demanding US$ 500,000.00

In the meantime, the investigation is at a critical stage 5 days into the obduction.
