Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has called for "at least 90 million" as a ransom of four French citizens were kidnapped in Niger in September, according to a mediator who is in Gao, northern Mali. Besides money, the kidnappers demand the release of prisoners from Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which are held in different countries, including France, said the source.
Seven people (five French citizens, one of Togo and a Madagascar) were abducted last September in northern Niger by members of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). In February, three of them were released: A French woman, Francoise Larriba, the city of Madagascar, Jean-Claude Rakotorilalao, and Togo, Kodjo Alex Ahonen, on the border between Algeria, Mali and Niger.
After his release, the hostages are French Larriba Daniel, husband of Frances Larriba, Dol-Thierry, Peter and Marc Legrand Ferret. Five days after the abduction of the seven foreigners, Al Qaeda Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and called in November to France to negotiate his release directly to Osama Bin Laden.
A lawsuit was rejected by Paris denied that "its policy was dictated by the outside by any person." Last January new citizens were kidnapped two French nationals who died during the operation launched by French and Nigerian forces, and left at eight the total number of French hostages in Niger.
