On Western hostages in Iraq

The French foreign minister Michael Barnier said that the driver of the two French journalists who are held in Iraq, who is of the Syrian nationality, contacted the French authorities and that Paris is still making all contacts possible, direct or indirect, to release Christian Shino George Malbrunno.

On the other hand, the family of the British woman Margaret Hassan is trying to get her body and still pins hope to that news on her killing at the hands of her kidnappers are not correct.

Tahsin Hassan, Margaret's husband refused to talk to the mass media or to get out of his home in Baghdad because of the state of sorrow he is in. Many people who knew the British relief official or worked with her at the humanitarian field showed great sadness over her killing.
