NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Ethiopian, Somali and Kenyan security forces were searching Tuesday for two Kenyan policemen who went missing in northeastern Kenya during a routine patrol assignment along the border with Somalia, a senior police officer said Tuesday.

The two men disappeared on Sunday while patrolling on foot the northeastern tip of Kenya that borders Ethiopia and Somalia, said Antony Kibuchi, the Northeastern Province police chief.

Kenya closed its border with Somalia in January after government troops there, backed by Ethiopian forces, dislodged an Islamic movement from the Somali capital, Mogadishu, to avoid members and sympathizers of the Islamic group crossing into Kenya, the most peaceful and stable country in the region.

"At this point we are not ruling out kidnapping or abduction," Kibuchi told The Associated Press, declining to give any other details about the policemen's disappearance.

More than 100 Kenyan soldiers, paramilitary police and wildlife rangers together with counterparts from Ethiopia and Somalia conducting one of the largest joint search and rescue missions in the region, Kibuchi said.

He said one search was spanning a 100-kilometer (62-mile) stretch along the border with Somalia and another was along 200 kilometers (124 miles) of border with Ethiopia.
