Seven Observers 'Seized By Ukraine Rebels'
  

Seven members of an observer mission in Ukraine have been seized by separatists and are being held, says the Kiev government.
 
The representatives from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe - an independent group which advises countries on governance - were taken in the eastern flashpoint town of Slavyansk, the interior ministry said.
 
The group were held on Thursday and had not been heard from for a day when the ministry made its announcement.
 
A separatist leader in Slayansnk said on Friday afternoon he believes the observers have a "spy" in their group.
 
It came as Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier agreed that the OSCE mission should play an active role in efforts to defuse tension in Ukraine.
