U.K.  Mining Engineer Flees Gambia Detention, Telegraph Says

By Renee  Lawrence

Sept. 3 (Bloomberg) --  Charlie

a  British mining engineer, swam a crocodile-infested river and drove  through
the west African bush to escape from Gambia after being accused of  illegally
mining uranium, the Daily Telegraph reported, citing an interview  with him.

Northfield, who works for Carnegie Minerals Plc, was detained  by local
authorities in February and accused of illegally mining uranium  commercially
using the company's license for excavating mineral sands, the  newspaper
reported.

After 10 days in prison he was released without  his passport on bail of
250,000 pounds ($443,000) and held under house  arrest, the newspaper said.

He escaped with the aid of a U.K. private  security company, who smuggled him
in vehicles and on foot through bush and  jungle to reach the Senegalese
capital of Dakar, the Telegraph  added.
