Radio France International (RFI) journalists Ghislaine Dupont (L) and Claude Verlon are pictured in this combination picture made of undated handout images released to Reuters on November 2, 2013. The two French radio journalists were killed by gunmen in northern Mali on Saturday shortly after being abducted in the town of Kidal, French and Malian officials said. The French government confirmed that Verlon, 58, and Dupont, 51, both journalists at RFI radio, had been found dead. Kidal is the birthplace of a Tuareg uprising last year that plunged Mali into chaos, leading to a coup in the capital Bamako and the occupation of the northern half of the country by militants linked to al Qaeda.
