According to international kidnap and ransom experts, Clayton Consultants, India was the country in which most kidnaps were reported in October 2007. Nigeria and Mexico, which grab most of the news headlines, were 4th and 5th respectively, beaten by Venezuela (2nd) and Nepal (3rd). Both Italy and the USA were also featured in the Top 10 List, in 8th and 9th positions respectively.
The monthly Clayton K&R Extortion Monitor publishes details of known incidents of kidnap, but cannot be taken as a true indicator of employee or business travel kidnap risk since the nature and targets of kidnap vary from country to country.
The reports do not include data from Iraq.
