A British reporter is believed to be one of two foreign journalists kidnapped in northern Somalia.

Abshir Abdi Jama, police spokesman in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, said the pair had been working on a story about piracy in the region and were kidnapped on Wednesday.

Their nationalities were not immediately known, but Jama said one was believed to be British, the other of Lebanese origin.
