Abduction by cesarean

Columbian police reported yesterday that an unborn child was abducted by C-section.  The mother, Sol Angela Cartagena, was apparently drugged while at the hospital cafeteria in Girardot, southwest of Bogota.  She awoke in the countryside, her 2-year-old daughter still with her, but her unborn child was gone.

Doctors believe Cartagena is lucky to be alive.  They confirmed she had been drugged before the operation but are unsure where it was performed.

Police captured the woman who had the baby after she was seen with it wrapped in a sheet by those who knew she had not been pregnant.

The baby was dehydrated but otherwise in good condition.

Although Columbia has the highest kidnapping rate (more than 3,000 per year), authorities believe this is the first time an unborn child has been abducted.

How's that for bizarre?
