Sudan security agents searching for French hostage: foreign minister

Khartoum. Sudanese security agents have launched a search for an abducted Frenchman after a Chadian minister reported that he was being held in the neighbouring country, Khartoum said on Sunday.
Chadian Security Minister Ahmat Mahamat Bachir said on Friday that a French mining worker who was kidnapped in Chad was now in Sudan. Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour said the powerful National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) and the military intelligence had launched an operation to find him. “They all are working to find the French hostage and return him to his homeland,” Ghandour told the official SUNA news agency.
