French children kidnapped in Cameroon 'shown in video'
A video published on YouTube appears to show seven members of a French family, including four children, abducted by Islamists in Cameroon.
The video shows an armed man reading a statement in front of two men, a woman and four children.
Claiming to be from the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram, the alleged kidnappers demand the release of prisoners in Cameroon and Nigeria.
The family were snatched last Tuesday by gunmen on motorbikes.
