France confirmed Friday that seven members of a French family who were kidnapped in Cameroon in February had been released and were "all healthy."

The president's office said Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius had immediately left for Cameroon to greet the family, which includes four young children.

Cameroonian President Paul Biya had earlier announced that the family had been "handed over last night to Cameroonian authorities." (AFP)
