Six French aid workers who were jailed in Chad on child trafficking charges have returned to France. The six were sentenced to eight years' hard labour in Chad on Wednesday for attempting to kidnap 103 children. The four men and two women from the French charity Zoe's Ark arrived at Le Bourget airport outside Paris, where they were met by French police. France struck a deal with Chad, requesting that the six serve their sentences in their home country. The aid workers insisted they were trying to evacuate orphans from Darfur.
