MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.  -- An American from Manhattan Beach has been kidnapped by pirates in Somalia.
Michael Scott Moore was taken hostage on Saturday, just days before two aid workers, including one American, were rescued from their Somali captors in a U.S. military raid.
Moore is a well-known travel and surfing journalist. He holds dual U.S. and German citizenship and was living in Berlin most recently.
He became interested in writing a book about Somali pirates and went to central Somalia to do some research.
He had previously traveled to Africa to write a series of articles on the same subject.
Moore was en route to an airport when 15 men in two SUVs kidnapped him.
They have taken him to Ceel Huur, a village on the Indian Ocean.
The U.S. State Department says it is very concerned about Moore's safety.
"We are aware of news reports that a U.S. citizen has been kidnapped in northern Somalia and we are concerned about the individual’s safety and well-being," the State Dept. said in a statement.
"We have been in contact with the individual’s family and we are working with contacts in Kenya and Somalia to ascertain further information."
Reports from Somalia say the pirates believe that Moore is a spy.
On Monday, Mohamed Ahmed Alim, president of the autonomous Galmudug region, where Moore was abducted tried to open negotiations with the pirates.
But they are demanding a ransom, and say they will not negotiate until the money is paid.
The amount of the desired ransom asked has not been made public.
Moore is a 1987 graduate of Mira Costa High School.
He was a 2006-2007 Fulbright fellow for journalism in Germany, and serves as editor-at-large for Berlin's Spiegel Online.
Moore was written for the Atlantic Monthly, Slate and the Los Angeles Times.
His book about surfing history, "Sweetness and Blood," was named a book of the year by the Economist in 2010.
Moore's kidnapping came days before 32-year-old American Jessica Buchanan and 60-year-old Dane Poul Thisted were rescued in a daring midnight raid by Navy SEAL Team 6 -- the same group involved in the mission that killed Osama bin Laden.
After the rescue, President Obama said in a statement: "The United States will not tolerate the abduction of our people, and will spare no effort to secure the safety of our citizens and to bring their captors to justice."
