French journalists killed in Mali

Two French journalists have been killed in northern Mali, where French troops intervened and have been driving back Islamist militants for most of the year.

Claude Verlon and Ghislaine Dupont, journalists for Radio France Internationale, were kidnapped on Saturday near in Kidal, a town near the Algerian border. Their bullet-ridden bodies were discovered a short time later on the outskirts of the town.
