Rescued: British Honorary Consul and Millionaire Kidnapped in Ecuador

Colin Armstrong, a British businessman and former UK honorary consul, has been rescued after being kidnapped in Ecuador. Armstrong, along with his partner, was abducted from his home and driven away in his own car, which was later found abandoned. Nine people have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping. Criminal violence has been on the rise in Guayaquil, Ecuador's most populous city, due to the drug trade and economic hardship. The president has vowed to crack down on drug gangs and organized crime.
