Norway Warns against Travel to Yemen [Archives:2000/25/Front Page]

The Norwegian Foreign office issued on Sunday, 11 June 2000, an official warning to all Norwegians against travelling to Yemen, unless it is absolutely necessary.
By this official warning, Norway has joined the United Kingdom in issuing a travel warning to its citizens.
The warning was issued after the Norwegian diplomat Gudbrand Stuve was kidnapped and killed on the night of Saturday 10 June, 2000 in a fire-fight in the Sanwan area 80 kms northeast of Sanaa.
The Norwegian government has insisted on bringing the ones responsible for the kidnapping, and the others responsible for the killing of the Norwegian diplomat to justice.
It is worth mentioning that the kidnappers’ identity was known as their identity papers were found in their vehicle. The tribe they belong to is said to be a well-known tribe in the Jowf area, yet it is not clear whether they were brought to justice or not. In the meantime investigations in this case are continuing.
