From CTV.ca:

There are indications that a Somali militant group believed to be holding two journalists, including a Canadian, may soon make a ransom demand, says a journalism organization official.

Tom Rhodes, Africa co-ordinator for the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, told CTV.ca on Monday that his sources say the militants are looking for a safe house to hold Amanda Lindhout and Nigel Brennan.

Once they have found such a place, it is believed they will make a formal ransom demand, he said.

But "no one really knows what's going on," Rhodes glumly added.
