French Reporter in Iraq May Have Been Abducted

HeadlineJan 11, 2005

The French newspaper whose reporter in Baghdad has been missing since last week said Monday it seemed increasingly likely that she was abducted. Iraqi and French officials say a search is under way for Florence Aubenas of the French daily Liberation and her Iraqi translator. They were last seen Wednesday morning leaving the reporter’s Baghdad hotel. A close relative of the translator said that Aubenas and the translator were abducted in Baghdad near an entrance to the Green Zone, the fortified home of the U.S. Embassy and the interim Iraqi government. Neither French nor Iraqi authorities confirmed that claim.
