Somali Militants Say Execute French Hostage
This is French national Denis Allex as he appeared in an undated video released by Somali militants. Al Shabaab rebels linked to al Qaeda said on Thursday they had executed Allex, who French armed forces had tried to rescue over the weekend. The militant group said on its Twitter account that he had been killed at 1630 GMT on Wednesday. This has not been confirmed by other sources as the news spread on Thursday.
