Paris (ANTARA News/AFP) - A disabled Frenchwoman who was snatched by gunmen from her beachfront home at a Kenyan resort and taken to neighbouring Somalia has died in the hands of her captors, France said on Wednesday.

The foreign ministry said the circumstances of 66-year-old Marie Dedieu`s death were not known, but her failing health had probably been a factor. (*)
