Three al-Jazeera journalists have been kidnapped in Yemen.

The Doha-based news channel said its journalists had been covering the conflict in Taiz, in Yemen’s south-west, and have demanded their immediate release.

Al-Jazeera said its Arabic correspondent Hamdi al-Bokari and his crew, Abdulaziz al-Sabri and Moneer al-Sabai, had last been seen late on Monday in Taiz.
