After 5 months captivity in Iraq, Florence Aubenas a journalist with Libération and her guide Hussein Hanoun al Saadi were released yesterday at mid-day and are now on their route home.

Hussein Hanoun al Saadi has chosen to remain in Baghdad, and Florence Aubenas is en route to Villacoublay airport Paris.
Florence Aubenas in one of the video appeals she made for her release in which she spoke of her impending insanity.

They were kidnapped on January 5.

The 44 year old woman was seen with guns to her head making a harrowing appeal for assistance amidst cries that she was going insane earlier during her captivity.

She has been a war correspondent for Libération for over 17 years.

This is how the news broke less than an hour ago:-

The French government are saying very little as their longest hostage case since the Iraqi war began ends.
Though no doubt there will be speculation on payment of a ransom.

The campaign for their release continued through what at times seemed futility, as their stay in captivity went so long beyond that of fellow journalists Georges Malbrunot and Christian Chesnot who were released in December 2004.

But the last events to draw attention to the case included a two day internet concert details available here:
