French hostages 'freed in Cameroon'
« on: February 21, 2013, 10:25:05 AM »
A French family of seven kidnapped in Cameroon earlier this week has been freed and rescued in Nigeria, French media are reporting.

"They are safe and well," a Cameroonian military source is quoted as saying.

The three adults and four children were seized during a holiday, causing alarm in France and prompting it to warn all French citizens to leave the area.

French President Francois Hollande speculated they had been taken by the violent Islamist group Boko Haram.
