Bogota: Unknown assailants have abducted the daughter of the director of Colombia's National Protection Unit (UNP), the force charged with guarding people at risk of kidnapping or assassination, officials said Friday.

Eleven-year-old Daniela Mora, the daughter of UNP chief Diego Mora, was abducted Thursday as she left school in Cucuta, a city on the Venezuelan border, authorities said.

The armored vehicle driving her home was intercepted by the kidnappers in circumstances that remain unclear, Colombian media reports said.

Created in 2011, the agency spends $600,000 a day guarding politicians, journalists, activists and others deemed to be at risk.

1. God, I wish people would leave the children alone.

Do you suppose this was a "thumb in the eye" to Diego Mora? I don't know enough to speculate, just wondered if the kidnappers chose that particular victim to make a point.

I hope she is returned safely.
