                    Journalists Kidnapped in Syria are Free

   Four French journalists held captive in Syria for almost a year are
   free.
   French President Francois Hollande said Saturday he learned "with great
   relief this morning of the liberation" of the four reporters.
   Mr. Hollande said the four (Edouard Elias, Didier Francois, Nicolas
   Henin and Pierre Torres) were "in good health despite the very
   challenging conditions of their captivity" and would return to France
   "in the coming hours."
   Reuters news agency is reporting the journalists, who went missing in
   June, were found by Turkish soldiers on the Syrian border with their
   hands and eyes bound.
   Reporters Without Borders has called Syria "the most dangerous country
   in the world" for journalists.
