The two French journalists released by kidnappers in Iraq last month have told the BBC that their captors supported the goals of Osama Bin Laden.

"We realised they had a jihadist agenda," said one of the ex-hostages, Georges Malbrunot.

Speaking on the BBC's Hardtalk programme, he said one gunman had told him: "We have to bring the fight to Europe... we're in 60 countries now".

When they asked the kidnappers how they treated US or British hostages they were told: "They are dogs, we kill them".

Mr Malbrunot said he thought the kidnappers were Iraqis, but "some, they told us, were from Yemen, Saudi Arabia".

1. Not a surprise

Bush started an all out crusade, and it is no surprise that it is turning into a holy war.

2. To them it's a holy war, to many bushco supporters it's a holy war, but...

to most in the Bushco corporate run administration it's secretly a war for materials and access to resources. The truth rarely ever coincided with most machinations of a government foisted on the general US populations. I don't think Bushco is making any points for first inroads here either.

3. For all of the freepers .....

The former hostages said the kidnappers were happy that US troops were in Afghanistan and Iraq because that gave the jihadists an opportunity to fight them.
