A similar device was installed Afghanistan, (...)
But this strategy has its limits. The two military interventions, July 25 to release Germaneau and last Saturday in Niger, have resulted in the deaths of the hostages. She has little evidence so far its deterrent effect (...). "

If the hostages had called Sarkozy and Jean Laurent Juppe, it's a safe assumption that peaceful solutions have been preferred to the use of force.
