JFIFuuPhotoshop 3.08BIMlxWepa03532713 An undated TV grab of footage shot by Al-Kataib Media, made available by MAXPPP on 12 January 2013, shows Denis Allex, a French hostage allegedly held by Somali militants, who was reportedly killed during a failed rescue mission by French soldiers. French President Francois Hollande admitted on 12 January that an attempt to free a French secret agent taken hostage by Somali Islamists more than three years ago had failed. 'The operation did not succeed despite the sacrifice of two of our soldiers and, no doubt, the assassination of our hostage,' Hollande said in a statement on 12 January evening. Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said earlier one soldier was killed and another went missing in the raid early 12 Jnauary on a house in Somalia's Lower Shabelle region. Le Drian accused the radical al-Shabaab rebels of killing captured secret agent Denis Allex. Al-Shabaab rebels said they captured a French soldier but denied killing Allex, saying he had been 'far from the location of the battle' and that they would decide his fate by 14 January.
