French journalists return home from Syria VILLACOUBLAY, France, March 3 (UPI) -- A pair of French journalists who were trapped in the Syrian city of Homs for nine days were returned to their families in Villacoublay, France. Edith Bouvier, 31, reporter for Le Figaro, and William Daniels, 34, a freelance photographer, were met Friday evening by French President Nicolas Sarkozy at a military airport in Villacoublay, The New York Times reported. Bouvier was badly injured during the siege of Homs last week in the same explosion that killed Marie Colvin, a reporter for The Sunday Times of London. She remained in the care of anti-government protesters, unable to be treated for a broken femur, she said in a YouTube video last week. Sarkozy honored Bouvier and Williams upon their arrival, telling reporters, "I want to pay homage to the courage of Edith Bouvier and the chivalrous spirit of her companion in misfortune, William Daniels," who Sarkozy said "never abandoned Edith."
