Abducted Chinese workers are safe

Negotiations ongoing to free men in Yemen

Beijing - Two Chinese oil workers who were abducted by tribesmen in Yemen over the weekend are in good condition and negotiations with the kidnappers are underway, embassy officials said.

Armed Yemeni tribesmen in the southeastern province of Shabwa took the two Chinese men hostage along with four Yemeni escorts - two guards and two drivers - on Sunday.
