A Canadian man who went missing eight days ago in Colombia is believed to have been kidnapped, a Colombian army official said Friday.

Thomas Orland MacLean, 46, believed to be an electrical engineer from Ottawa, was last seen on the evening of June 26 along with his brother-in-law, a cattle rancher from Pereira, Colombia, named Jesus Salvador Aristizabal Zuluaga, said General Justo Eliseo Pena, commanding officer of the third division of the Colombian army.

The two men had been driving off a ranch that had been rented by Aristizabal Zuluaga near Tulua, which is about 150 kilometres west of Bogota, Pena said.

Witnesses later saw Aristizabal Zuluaga's pickup truck being driven from the scene by two hooded men dressed in civilian clothes. It was later found abandoned with Aristizabal Zuluaga's 9-mm pistol still in it.

The municipality has offered a reward for information about the disappearance of the two men, said the town's secretary general, James Arturo Visnaco. .........
