Five European tourists were killed, and two tourists and two Ethiopians were kidnapped, in an attack by gunmen in northern Ethiopia's remote Afar region, Reuters cited the Ethiopian government as saying on Wednesday. Government spokesman Bereket Simon told Reuters two Germans, two Hungarians and an Austrian died in the dawn attack in an arid area prone to banditry where separatist rebels have operated. On Wednesday afternoon, eleven tired-looking survivors still dressed in trekking clothing arrived by plane in the capital, Addis Ababa. There was confusion over who had been wounded in the attack, and their nationalities. -- SPA
