Saudi Arabia’s deputy consul in the southern Yemeni city of Aden has been kidnapped outside his home.
Police in the city’s Mansoura district said gunmen abducted Abdallah al-Khalidi as he was about to get into his car, escaping in another vehicle.
A security operation is now under way in the city in an effort to find him.
Aden is the city closest to Yemen’s Abyan province where government forces have been struggling to contain militant groups linked to al Qaeda.
