Somali pirates kidnap French woman from Kenyan island.

Somali pirates have kidnapped a French woman from an exclusive resort island in northern Kenya, near the Somali border, according to an official.

If confirmed, it would be the second such attack near the popular tourist town of Lamu in a month. In early September, pirates shot dead a British man, David Tebbutt and kidnapped his wife, Judith, from a resort near Lamu.
