Doctors attending to the three Saudi tourists who were shot at and kidnapped in Kenya have declared the trio in stable condition on Sunday.
The trio escaped from their captors in Nairobi, capital of Kenya, and were flown to Jeddah on Saturday.
Dr. Sami Badawood, director of health in Jeddah, said the trio were immediately taken to King Fahd Hospital upon their arrival at the airport.
“They have undergone medical check up on Saturday night soon after their arrival at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah,” the director told the Saudi Press Agency.
Badawood said his department was following the condition of the Saudi tourists, who were suffering from bullet wounds.
Tests at the hospital proved that their condition is “stable and satisfactory,” he said.
Dr. Majed Khattab said he and his friends Atif Ismail and Adel Ibrahim were on a sight-seeing trip in Nairobi last week when they were seized by kidnappers and robbed of their valuables.
Khattab had been quoted as saying they were returning to their hotel at midnight when masked men on a car pursued them, rained bullets on them and took them along with their driver to a deserted place.
They managed to escape but two of them suffered bullet wounds.
