The handsome American soldier was Elisabeth's tenth client that evening. Working her trade on the top floor of a dingy apartment block in Paris, she felt that she had seen them all. For the past four years, the men had been Germans, and now, since the city had been liberated in August, 1944, they were Americans. It made little difference. Elisabeth held out three fingers of her hand to indicate the price of her body - three hundred francs. 'Too much,' said the soldier. Elisabeth sighed. She had seen that before as well. Wearily, she kept the three fingers held up, almost as an insult. There was no negotiation - three hundred was little enough as it was. 'Two hundred,' the soldier insisted. 'Non,' said Elisabeth. 'Three hundred or nothing'. The soldier approached her, hate in his eyes. Elisabeth glowered back, starting to feel scared. 'In that case,' said the soldier, 'it will be nothing.' ...

French special forces and local Troops raided an army base in northern Niger, ending a hostage seizure by Islamist fighters. ||| Niamey - French special forces and local Troops raided an army base Friday in northern Niger, ending a hostage seizure by Islamist fighters who had staged twin suicide bombings that killed at least 20 people. The dawn raid came after Signatories in Blood, a jihadist group that claimed Thursday's blasts, threatened to continue attacking Niger until the country withdraws its forces from neighbouring Mali, where they are part of a French-led military campaign against Al-Qaeda-linked Islamists. A French defence ministry official said two “terrorists” had been killed in the raid on a building at the Agadez army base, where Islamist fighters had holed up after the bombings and were holding a group of trainee soldiers hostage. An elected official in Agadez, the main city in Niger's mostly desert north, gave a higher toll, saying three “terrorists” and three hostages had been killed, as well as a civilian caught in the cross-fire. Niger's government did not confirm those numbers, while the French official said the toll was preliminary. French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian confirmed France had taken part in the raid. “The situation has stabilised as we speak, especially in Agadez, where our special forces intervened to back the Niger forces,” he said on France's BFMTV.
