Kidnap Victims Rescued By Fbi

From Staff And Wire Reports

The FBI rescued three victims of an apparent kidnapping and arrested two people after raiding a house in a quiet residential neighborhood.

Details of Saturday night’s operation were sketchy, but KING-TV in Seattle reported the three victims were Chinese teenagers who had been kidnapped while in Western Washington.

The two boys and a girl had been tied up and held for ransom for several days, KING reported.

A woman who answered the phone at Seattle’s FBI office Sunday morning would not give her name or any additional details.

Officials with King County Police Department and Tukwila Police said their agencies were not involved in the case.

Several FBI agents wearing bulletproof vests and brandishing shotguns surrounded the home early Saturday evening.

KING reported that the Tukwila home had been rented by three men two weeks ago.
