PARIS - A French couple held hostage by Somali pirates for two weeks have been freed by the French army in an operation in which one pirate was killed, the Elysee presidential palace announced Tuesday.

"One pirate was killed and six others were captured" during the special forces operation late Monday ordered by President Nicolas Sarkozy, a statement said.

"The president is happy with the success of this operation" and sent "warm congratulations" to the troops who took part, it said.
