5 AMERICANS FOUND AFTER KIDNAPPING BY TANZANIAN BANDITS

Five Americans who were kidnapped in a national park were found Sunday morning, the U.S. Embassy said.

Saturday, bandits abducted the five, drugged them unconscious, dumped them in the bush and drove off with their car, an embassy spokeswoman said. A search party found the victims, including two from Richmond, Va., semiconscious but healthy.

The kidnappers may have wanted the four-wheel-drive vehicle, a prized item in a country with extremely bad roads. by CNB
