By Agencies in Manila, Philippines | China Daily | Updated: 2015-09-23 07:49

Unidentified gunmen have abducted a Norwegian resort manager, two Canadians and a Filipino woman from a southern Philippine island, the military and police said on Tuesday.

The suspects sailed two motorized outriggers into a marina on Samal island and seized the four from aboard yachts just before midnight on Monday, said Superintendent Antonio Rivera, a local police spokesman.

The gunmen appeared to have specifically targeted the victims when they entered the Holiday Ocean View Samal Resort off Davao City, about 975 km southeast of Manila, regional military spokesman Captain Alberto Caber said.
