There have been no claims of responsibility for the kidnappings but the area where the incident occurred, Wajid, has a large presence of Islamist al-Shabab insurgents.

The nationalities of those kidnapped have not been released but it is believed three of the four are foreigners. According to reports the workers had been on a stopover between Puntland in northern Somalia and their destination of Kenya.
