(Bamako) The French yesterday carried out an air-strike on a
bunch of jihadists in the middle of nowhere near Tinzaouatene, on the Algerian
border.
The strike took out 10 terrorists and 2 vehicles including an ex colonel in the Malian army who had defected, who was close to this bunch of jihadists’ leader. The airstrike was part of France’s Operation Barkhane, active in Mali as well as four other former French colonies in west Africa Mauritania, Niger, Chad and Burkina Faso.
