Armed kidnappers raided a remote tourist resort in Malaysian Borneo, seizing six migrant workers before escaping into the jungle, officials said. Three Indonesians and three Filipinos were taken from the Borneo Paradise Eco-Farm Resort in eastern Sabah state, said Norian Mai, Malaysia's national police chief.

He said the kidnappers were believed to be Malaysians, and authorities did not believe any foreign group was involved. There was no immediate demand for ransom.
