MEXICO CITY, May 29 (Reuters) - Alan Pulido, a Mexican striker for the Greek soccer team Olympiakos, was kidnapped in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, authorities said on Sunday.
Authorities in Tamaulipas tweeted that there is a "special operation" to find Pulido, who disappeared in Ciudad Victoria on Saturday night.
Ismael Quintanilla, Tamaulipas state prosecutor, told reporters that Pulido was intercepted by armed men after leaving a party.
"At this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with Alan," the Olympiakos team tweeted. "We sincerely hope that this ordeal will soon end and that he will return home safely."
Tamaulipas, which abuts Texas, is an especially violent part of Mexico.
