Arab-TV: French held hostage in Iraq

CAIRO (AP)

Iraqi militants have kidnapped two Frenchmen to protest France's ban on students wearing Islamic head coverings in public schools, according to a tape aired by Al-Jazeera television.

The Qatar-based satellite news channel said it had received a tape from a group calling itself the Islamic Army in Iraq showing several seconds of video footage with two men talking.

Al-Jazeera did not say when it received the tape, which could not be immediately authenticated.

The French Foreign Ministry said it had no immediate information.
