N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - A group of 16 Europeans detained in eastern Chad for trying to take 103 children out of the African country illegally were flown under tight security to the capital N'Djamena on Friday to face trial.
The nine French and seven Spanish nationals flew aboard a Chadian military transport plane from the eastern town of Abeche, where they were arrested last week. Chad has brought abduction and fraud charges against them, saying they attempted to fly the children to Europe without permission.
