Freed French journalists describe ordeal
Two French journalists freed from captivity in Iraq arrived home describing a harrowing four-month ordeal during which they feared for their lives but never lost hope.
Clean-shaven and wide-eyed, smiling and apparently healthy, Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot walked off the plane at Villacoublay military airport outside Paris yesterday, through a chilly evening rain and into the arms of sobbing family members waiting on the tarmac.
