coach purses report,The two men been kidnapped in Niamey, the capital of Niger, on Friday - French troops were attempting to rescue them when they found the bodies.

No group has said it was behind the abduction, but al-Qaeda's North African offshoot has seized Westerners before.

France has warned its citizens against all travel to the Sahel region.

The foreign ministry said that the threat in the region, from Africa's western Atlantic Coast to the Red Sea in the east, meant that "no area can be considered safe any longer".
