Syrian hostage found alive in Fallujah
2004-11-12
But no sign of the French hostages.
US marines have found alive a Syrian driver in the restive Iraqi city of Fallujah who was taken hostage with two French journalists almost three months ago, a military spokeswoman said on Friday. "Marines located the driver of the two French reporters," the spokeswoman said, referring to Mohammed al-Jundi. But she was unable to say when he was found and had no information on the fate of French reporters Christian Chesnot of Radio France Internationale and Georges Malbrunot of Le Figaro newspaper. French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier said Sunday that his government knew that the hostages were "still alive a few days ago," after a botched attempt in September to rescue them.
