SAN'A, Yemen -- Tribal gunmen kidnapped two American tourists in Yemen on Monday and they are demanding the release of a jailed tribesman for the pair, security officials said.

The U.S. Embassy in San'a said it was working with Yemeni authorities to resolve the situation.

The security officials, a taxi driver and tribesmen said the two -- a man and a woman -- were seized while traveling in al-Hudaydah province west of the capital San'a.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Taxi driver Mohammed Saleh, who was driving the two, said six gunmen stopped them on the road and took them to the al-Hamra village. Al-Sharda tribesmen said the hostages were now "guests" in the village.
