I am trying to research a local news article of a couple claiming to be
held hostage at the New Hillcrest Hotel, in Nairobi, Kenya on
12-14-2006. The source given for the article said no Americans
frequented this hotel. The source article does not mention any
Americans involved. Yet this couple comes back here to Redding Ca and
claims they were held hostage. They are on the front page of our local
paper.

Here is the url for the source of the article

Here is the article as it appeared in our local paper.

It's hard for me to imagine there would be no reporting of the
Americans being a part of this hostage taking/heist. I have emailed
the source article but have not heard from them. I can find absolutely
nothing else on the web about this hostage taking.

Can any of you verify this hostage situation? TIA. -Gar
