KEY POINTS:
Police in Chad arrested nine French people as they prepared to fly more than 100 children to France to have them adopted.
They included the head of a group called Zoe's Ark, which said this year that it intended to bring orphans from the Darfur region for adoption.
Chad's Interior Minister said Chadian children were among the 103 infants, aged between 3 and 8. He said not all of them were orphans.
