Budapest - A Kuwaiti diplomat was attacked inside his home, locked in the cellar and robbed by two masked men earlier this week, the Hungarian agency MTI reported Thursday.

By police accounts, the victim was not mishandled any further beyond being locked in his cellar. There was no exact information about the value of the items stolen from him. (dpa)
