In Paris, TIME's Bruce Crumley reports that exasperated French officials now don't know whom or what to believe: "Foreign Minister Herve de Charette claimed he had no information on the subject at all, and called the entire episode 'grotesque.' Sources at his ministry confirmed that the government had no confirmation on the kidnapping -- nor anything else since the two men were shot down. 'We know nothing, nothing...
