French Hostage Freed in Iraq

from VOA

French and Iraqi officials say a French engineer kidnapped last month in Baghdad has been freed.

Iraq Interior Ministry officials and police say Bernard Planche was found Sunday near a security checkpoint, west of Baghdad.

Mr. Planche was abducted Thursday from his home in Baghdad. The kidnappers had threatened to kill him if France did not end what they called its "illegitimate presence" in Iraq.
