A video posted online apparently shows seven French hostages kidnapped from northern Cameroon, with a masked militant claiming the radical Islamic group Boko Haram from neighboring Nigeria holds them.
The video shows one of two French men reading a statement, with a woman in between them. Four children sit on the ground, flanked by two masked militants wearing camouflage uniforms and holding rifles.
A masked militant in front says that Boko Haram kidnapped the French hostages due to the French military intervention in northern Mali.
"Let the French president know that he has launched war against Islam and we are fighting him everywhere," the man says in Arabic. "Let him know that we are spread everywhere to save our brothers."
The man threatens to kill the French hostages if the group's demands are not met.
The French gas group GDF Suez has identified the captives as an employee working in Yaounde, the Cameroon capital, and his family.
