French Hostage returned to France
01/01/0001
French photographer Pierre Borghi returned to France on Sunday, a week after he was freed in Afghanistan following four months in captivity, officials said.
Borghi, 29, arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport on a flight from Delhi, an Agence France Presse journalist said.
He worked in Afghanistan for French charity Solidarites International and returned to Kabul last year to take photographs and try to establish himself as a photographer.
French officials have not confirmed how he was freed. He was captured at the end of November but nothing was published in the media.
Officials in Kabul who declined to be identified said that the two men had been held separately and gave no explanation of why they had been released on the same day.
