2 French journalists who escaped Syria return home
None
Two French journalists smuggled out of a war-torn Syrian city where they were trapped for nine days returned home Friday, one injured and carried from the plane on a stretcher, the other smiling broadly and punching his fist in the air.
A red ambulance whisked Edith Bouvier to a hospital after she lingered on the special French government aircraft for more than 30 minutes with loved ones and President Nicolas Sarkozy. The French president greeted the 31-year-old Bouvier, a journalist for Le Figaro, and William Daniels, a photographer, at Villacoublay military airport, west of Paris. (AP)
