Seven freed Europeans leave Chad

Sarkozy and the three journalists arrived in Paris late on Sunday

Seven Europeans arrested in Chad on suspicion of child-kidnapping have flown home, accompanied by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The plane stopped in Madrid, where four Spanish air hostesses were greeted by PM Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

It then flew on to France with three French journalists aboard.

Ten Europeans are still being held over an alleged attempt to take 103 African children out of the country. The group claim they were Darfuri orphans.

The claim from the French charity Zoe's Ark, which was behind the attempt to fly the children to France, has been questioned by aid agencies, who say most of the children have families and actually come from Chad.
