Breaking News - Seven French Nationals Kidnapped In Northern Cameroun by AAC: 4:39pm On Feb 19, 2013 |
Excerpts DAKAR/ATHENS (Reuters) - Gunmen kidnapped seven French nationals, including three children, on Tuesday in northern Cameroon near the border with Nigeria and the perpetrators came from neighboring Nigeria, French President Francois Hollande said. The risk of attacks on French nationals and interests in Africa has risen since France sent forces into Mali last month to help oust Islamist rebels occupying the country's north. The seven tourists were abducted at around 7 a.m. in a village about 10 km (six miles) from the Nigerian border near the Waza national park and Lake Chad in the extreme north of Cameroon where Westerners often go for holidays. It was the first case of foreigners being seized in the mostly Muslim north of Cameroon, a former French colony. No group has claimed responsibility yet. |
