Awwal 25, 1432 H/Feb 28, 2011, SPA -- An internal U.N. report leaked to The Associated Press says two U.N. employees of Ukrainian descent have been kidnapped by the Young Patriots, a dangerous youth militia allied with the country's sitting president, according to AP. The alert sent to the AP says the two were seized late Monday morning in the Port-Bouet neighborhood of Abidjan. They were later moved to a Republican Guard base. Attacks on United Nations peacekeepers have been increasing since Laurent Gbagbo lost the Nov. 28 presidential election, according to results certified by the U.N. He ordered the United Nations to leave the country and his government has incited citizens to attack peacekeepers. The internal report says the Young Patriots faction in Port-Bouet is considered the «most dangerous.»
