ACEH: -- A British oil worker has been kidnapped by a group of armed men in Indonesia.

Engineer Malcolm Primrose, 61, was ambushed by an armed group as he travelled back from a mine site, reports said.

Mr Primrose is said to work for mining company Medco E&P and was in a car with his driver when confronted by the men at around 11am local time in Lubuk Pempeng village, East Aceh district, officials said.

Police said six men armed with rifles and a pistol fired a warning shot into the air, forcing Mr Primrose's driver to stop as he drove the Briton from the gas company where he worked to his home in Seumali village.

Police Commander Muhajir, who uses only one name, said police and troops had spread out in the region but there was no sign of Scottish Mr Primrose or his attackers.

'The perpetrators forced the car to stop and tied up the driver,' said Commander Muhajir.

'They then forced Mr Primrose into their car, which had no number plates, and drove off with him.'

The driver, Dania Arani, managed to free himself and raised the alarm.

The men drove off toward the Ranto Peureulak subdistric, police chief Muhajir told the Jakarta Globe.

He told the paper: 'Police officers, with the help of soldiers, are combing the surrounding areas where the victim was kidnapped and the remote areas in Ranto Peureulak to hunt the perpetrators.'

Some places are getting a little too hot for working people of foreign origin.

I wouldn't want to be a Christian in Aceh. The Aceh provincial government is enforcing Sharia law more strictly. They even arrest boys and girls who are chatting on a park bench if they are not married or related.

Because many expats in Thailand work in surrounding countries so good news to know.
