MOGADISHU, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Somali gunmen kidnapped two Libyan diplomats in Mogadishu's busy Bakara market on Saturday, a driver for the two men said.

"Ten men with pistols in their hands surrounded us. They seized the two diplomats and left with the car," the driver, who declined to give his name for fear of reprisal, told Reuters.
