$1m ransom demanded
Gunmen have demanded a $1 million ransom for the release of three aid workers taken over the weekend, a local elder said yesterday.
Somalia is one of the world's most dangerous places for aid workers and is suffering one of the world's worst humanitarian emergencies, with 3 million people dependent on food aid.
