In the world of kidnapp<\/a>ing, there are general<\/a>ly two types of motivation: ransom and politics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kidnap-for-ransom is more common and more conducive to a positive resolution because it is about money \u2014 a paid ransom brings the abductee home. Kidnapping for political reasons is more difficult and often leads to a more protracted situation.<\/p>\n
