STOCKHOLM
(Reuters) - Sweden is investigating the disappearance of two Swedish
journalists who are missing in Syria, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry declined to name the two, but said the
country's embassy in Syria, currently working out of the consulate in Lebanon,
was investigating.
A spokeswoman said the two had been "taken
away" on Saturday, but declined to give any further information.
Pia Skagermark, the head of international news at Dagens
Nyheter daily, which works with one of the men, said it was trying to get more
information to see how it could help them.
The Committee to Protect Journalists says Syria is the
most dangerous place in the world for journalists, with at least 39 killed and
21 kidnapped in 2012 by both rebels and government forces.
It has reported on at least 18 journalists and media
workers currently missing in Syria.
