Police say gunmen have kidnapped two Chinese miners in central Nigeria. Assistant police superintendent Numan Ismaila says gunmen ambushed the vehicle carrying the miners Friday afternoon on the road to Abuja, the capital. Victims usually are returned unharmed once a ransom is paid. They work for Chinese company West African Polaris Ltd., which mines tin and columbite. Police say local hunters and others are helping them in "a very intense search" for the miners in the forest and bush of Nasarawa state.
