WASHINGTON, USA (AFP): US Federal Bureau of Investigation agents are helping authorities on the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba in the ongoing hunt for a missing American teenager, officials said here Sunday.
US news reports said two men have been detained in connection with the disappearance of 18-year-old high school student Natalee Holloway.
Holloway was last seen on May 30 after visiting a bar during her vacation on Aruba with other students from Mountain Brook High School, near Birmingham, Alabama.
"The FBI is assisting the government of Aruba in the investigation," a spokesman for the FBI's Birmingham office said Sunday.
The FBI was providing agents and technical assistance to the Aruba authorities, the spokesman said.
The island, off the north coast of Venezuela, and its resorts are a popular destination for US vacationers and sun-seekers.
