Reports that
three Swedes have been kidnapped in Tanzania appear to be false.
That’s the
confirmation coming from the Swedish Foreign Ministry.
Press officer
Anna Buhré Kervefors says the Foreign Ministry has no information indicating
that any Swedish citizens have disappeared in Tanzania.

It was
reported last week that three Swedes had gone missing, amidst fears the trio had been kidnapped.
The
suspected disappearance was reported to the police in Sweden as well as the
Swedish embassy in Dar es Salaam.
Police in
Tanzania said they had been in contact with Swedish police via Interpol, but
referred all questions about the three people to Swedish authorities.
