China says 29 abducted in Sudan still being held (AP)

BEIJING ? Chinese state media say that none of the 29 Chinese workers abducted after an attack in a volatile region of Sudan have been freed despite reports saying some of the workers have been released.

The official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday that the 29 road workers are still being held. It says 18 others fled, and 17 of those were rescued. One is still missing.

The workers were abducted Saturday by militants in a remote region in Sudan's south. Sudanese state media said Monday that 14 of them had been freed.

The Chinese ambassador to Sudan, Luo Xiaoguang, said on Chinese state television that anti-government rebels attacked the road project the Chinese were working on.
