Al-Qaeda demands 90 million-euro ransom for French hostages
مشاهير123 - أكد النائب الفرنسي عن الحزب الاشتراكي، أن تنظيم "القاعدة في بلاد المغرب الإسلامي" طلب من الحكومة الفرنسية دفع فدية مالية تقدر بـ 90 مليون أورو مقابل الإفراج عن الرهائن الفرنسيين المحتجزين في النيجر منذ سبتمبر 2010 ." "وصرح النائب فرانسوا لونكل خلال اجتماع له، أول أمس، ببعض المنتخبين والصحفيين في باريس، بأن هذا المبلغ أكبر بكثير من الدعم الفرنسي للتنمية في مالي المقدر سنويا بحوالي 53 مليون يورو. وأضاف: "نحن نمنح حوالي 53 مليون أورو لمالي كل سنة، للمساهمة في تنميتها، بينما تطلب القاعدة من أجل تحرير الرهائن حوالي 90 مليون أورو، وهذا أكبر بكثير وبشكل واضح من مساعدتنا لمالي"، يضيف النائب العائد من جولة إفريقية قادته إلى موريتانيا ومالي والنيجر.
Four French hostages : 90 Million Euros
English: Machahir123- -Al-Qaeda's north African branch is demanding at least 90 million euros in ransom for the release of four French hostages held since September, a source close to mediators said.
The French government probably will accept the demand, which also included the freeing of prisoners from Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) being held in France and elsewhere.
"The kidnappers are demanding at least 90 million euros (128 million dollars) to release the four French hostages still being held," said the Niger source close to talks taking place in northern Mali.
"They also want the release of AQIM prisoners taken in several countries, including France," the source said.
The four Frenchmen were among seven people kidnapped in September 2010 in neighbouring Niger's remote uranium-mining town of Arlit and then taken into Mali.
Three of them -- a Togolese, a Madagascan national and the ailing French wife of an executive who is among the group still held -- were freed on February 25 after a ransom was paid, according to a source close to negotiations.
