George Malbrunot is a French journalist working for Le Figaro who, along with Christian Chesnot, was taken hostage on August 20, 2004, by the Islamic Army in Iraq. This group gave the French government a 48-hour deadline to repeal its law against girls wearing the Muslim veil in school. The ultimatum was delivered by means of video broadcast on the Arab TV channel Al Jazeera at 6.30 p.m. GMT on August 26. Both French hostages were released on December 21, 2004.
