Four French journalists Z home after Syrian captivity , J Reporters were kidnapped by Islamic extremists in separate incidents PARIS (AP) - Four French journalists kidnapped and held for 10 months in Syria returned home Sunday to joyful families, a presidential welcome and ques- tions about how France managed to obtain their freedom from Islamic extremists. Edouard Elias, Didier Fran- cois, Nicolas Henin and Pierre Torres were freed Saturday by their kidnappers at the Turkish border. They were captured in two separate incidents last June. Francois recounted details of the captivity on Europe 1 radio, saying there were periods of "total isolation," numerous transfers to new locations and, sometimes, chains to guard - U5 against escape. The four were kidnapped in two separate incidents last June, and it was unclear how much time they spent together. Since his capture, Francois said he felt like he had been living in a "black hole ... in basements without seeing daylight, includ- ing a month and a half chained one to another." "It's such a delight and a relief to be free, to see the sky ... to breath the fresh air, to walk, to talk to you;" said Francois, 53, a noted war reporter for Europe 1. Elias, 23, a freelance photog- rapher, also was working for Europe 1 radio. Henin, 37, and Torres, 29, are freelance jour- nalists. At an emotional welcome cer- emony at Villacoublay military airport outside Paris, President Francois Hollande saluted their return as "a moment of joy" for their families and France. 5-m Hollande praised Turk- ish authorities for helping in the journalists' return, but didn't elaborate. It was unclear whether Turkey played a role in the negotiations to obtain the journalists' freedom. The four were released at the Turkish- Syrian border and found by Turkish police. Hollande insisted that France honored its policy of not paying ransoms. "It's a very important prin- ciple so that hostage-takers are not tempted to capture others," Hollande told Europe 1. He stressed the role of negotiations and intelligence work - as he has in the past when hostages were freed, notably in Mali, where two French remain in captivity. Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, in response to a question, told Europe 1 that no weapons were delivered to the Islamic radicals holdingthe four. "There was no question of contact with the Syrian govern- ment" of Bashar Assad, Fabius said. France and other Western nations blame Assad for Syria's civil war and want him removed from power. "So it was of another nature," he said, suggesting some bargain was struck. The journalists' captors haven't been formally identified, although the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, among the most radical of the Islamic groups operating in Syria, are suspected. A Syrian who served as translator and guide for two of the journal- ists said that breakaway al-Qaida group surely captured them in the eastern province of Raqqa. Hussam al-Ahmad, 23, told The Associated Press that Henin and Torres aroused the fighters' suspicion after they entered a school and asked to take pictures of the fighters as they played soccer. The jour- nalists were seized four days after an initial interrogation, al- Ahmad said.

"That intimacy creates a level of realness that is difficult to achieve on this campus. We also did a great job of engaging the greater Ann Arbor community.

Business sophomore Trinity Lin, the Hip Hop Congress finan- cial chair, noted the importance of an interactive performance. "I think the show was definite- ly better than I expected because I've never seen a live show where the artists are so willing to inter- act with the audience," she said. Immortal Technique, who has worked with Hip Hop Congress in the past, said while he sup- ports Hip Hop Congress' core mission, he could also contribute to their efforts to educate others on hip hop culture. "I think what Hip Hop Con- gress tries to do successfully, but I think if they had the right backing they could a lot more of, is really educate young people about the culture of hip hop as it pertains to growing our people in a positive way, not as it per- tains to bragging about things that are irrelevant," he said in See HIP HOP, Page 3A dent group dedicated to fostering dialogue around the culture of hip-hop.
