Paris, Ramadan 6, 1434, Jul 15, 2013, SPA - France's foreign ministry says it is very likely that a body found in northern Mali is that of one of the six French hostages captured in Eastern Mali. The foreign ministry said Sunday that there is a "strong probability" that the body is that of Philipppe Verdon, who was captured in eastern Mali in November 2011, along with another French citizen. The ministry says work continues on verifying the identity of the remains, according to a report of the Associated Press. --SPA 11:48 LOCAL TIME 08:48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1129375
