[AnNahar] Frenchie Serge Lazarevic, kidnapped in Mali by al-Qaeda in 2011, appeared in a video aired on Tuesday by Dubai-based Alaan television urging French President Francois Holland to act to secure his release.
He is the last French hostage worldwide still being held. The 50-year-old man was kidnapped by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) on November 24, 2011, along with Philippe Verdon who was found rubbed out in July last year. He was accompanying Verdon on a business trip when they were seized by a group of gunnies at a small hotel in Hombori, in the north, according to his relatives. AQIM was behind the killing of two French journalists in November. | |
