Florence Aubenas, a journalist for the French newspaper "Liberation", disappeared on Thursday along with her Iraqi interpreter Husain Hanun al-Saadi.
French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier in an interview from LCI tv station said:
"We don't know what this is, we are worried because we have no news, but we don't know for sure. So as I'm speaking, there are several hypotheses and I don't know which is the correct hypothesis."
France and Iraq are now coordinating the search for the missing journalists.
Another two French reporters were being held captive by a group called "Islamic Army of Iraq".
They were released on December 21, 2004 due to the French political opposition to the US-led war in Iraq.
