The kidnappers reportedly want to swap the hostages, believed to be husband and wife, for an imprisoned clansman. The incident points up the lawlessness of the area, a haven for militants and criminals. Armed tribesmen kidnapped two American tourists on Monday in rugged territory about 45 miles outside the capital, Sana, according to news reports and Yemeni security officials.
