PARIS (Reuters)

The editor of the French newspaper Le Figaro says Islamic militants have handed over two French journalists to an Iraqi group that has said it is in favour of releasing them.

Jean de Belot said on France Info radio that the news was positive but that he remained cautious until the men were in safe hands.

"The latest information is that Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot have been handed over by the Islamic Army in Iraq to an Iraqi Sunni guerrilla group...an opposition that we know for a few days now has been in favour of the release of the hostages," ..

I watched the execution of the Nepal workers last night and wish I hadn't. It left a scar.
