Gunmen in Syria have abducted a South African freelance photographer who was traveling with aid workers to the border with Turkey, an aid group said on Saturday. Shiraaz Mohamed was kidnapped on Tuesday afternoon on a “relatively safe route” near a medical facility operated by Gift of the Givers, said Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of the South African aid organization. The kidnappers put guns to the heads of two aid workers with Mohamed and then blindfolded all three and drove with the captives for an hour, Sooliman said in a text message sent to journalists.
