Spanish photographer Jose Cendon and a British reporter have been localized and are in good condition according to EFE. You can check it at this link: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/Detenidas/personas/supuestamente/relacionadas/secuestro/fotografo/espanol/elpepuint/20081129elpepuint_8/Tes "Aunque nosotros no hemos hablado con ellos, distintas fuentes (no identificadas), nos han confirmado que les han visto y que están en buen estado", ha afirmado el embajador español en Kenia, responsable también de las relaciones con Somalia. Hoping everything will sort out.

The Daily Telegraph has asked politely for everyone to refrain from naming the journalists in question, in the interest of their safety. It's not our policy to edit posts or comments for content, but you are completely free to do so yourselves. Please take a moment to remove these names from your posts and/or comments; once the immediate threat to their safety has past, it'll be fine for normal conversation to resume. Thanks for your cooperation.
