2 French journalists who escaped Syria return home

Two French journalists who were smuggled out of Syria have arrived in France.

Edith Bouvier, who was injured, and William Daniels were caught up in a Syrian government siege of a rebel-held neighborhood in the city of Homs.

President Nicolas Sarkozy greeted them on their arrival Friday at the military airport of Villacoublay west of Paris.

Bouvier was injured during a rocket attack that killed two Western journalists — American reporter Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik — and wounded a British photographer, Paul Conroy. Daniels was not hurt in the attack.

Late Thursday, French officials said Bouvier and Daniels had arrived safely in Lebanon.
