Norwegian Held In Cambodia On Kidnap Charge

A Norwegian
man wanted by Interpol on charges of kidnapping his six-year-old daughter more
than a year ago has been arrested in Cambodia, an interior ministry
official said.
    Torgeir
Nordbo was arrested with his daughter Alicia Elfversson late on Tuesday in the
western town of Pursat,
said Bith Kim Hong, head of the ministry’s anti-trafficking department.
    Nordbo, 47,
has been charged with kidnapping and abduction, he added. Cambodian police were
working with Interpol and Swedish authorities to arrange his extradition.
    Alicia’s
mother Maria Elfversson has accused her ex-husband of kidnapping the girl in
June last year, when he took her on a vacation and never returned.
The
mother had been granted custody of the child.
