“They are recieving medical attention at our base while they await transfer back to Kenya.”
Mohamed Dini Adan, the Somali military commander in Dhobley, said the army had stopped the “kidnappers who were trying to hide and sneak past the army.”
A Kenyan driver was killed and two others were wounded during Friday’s attack.
The kidnapping was the latest in a series of attacks in Dadaab, where gunmen last October seized two Spaniards working for Medecins sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders). They are still being held hostage in Somalia.
A spokesman for the Norwegian Refugee Council, Rolf Vestvik, said he could not comment.
