Al-Qaeda commander killed in Mali

Category: Terrorism News

France said on Tuesday its special forces in Mali killed an Al-Qaeda commander who had been released from prison in a swap for a French hostage.

The army said Ali Ag Wadossene, one of the “operational leaders” of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), died on Sunday in the northeastern town of Kidal, while two other “terrorists” were captured.

The operation “has dealt another heavy blow to armed terrorist groups in the Sahel”, the army said, adding that it had destabilised AQIM’s chain of command in that part of the lawless, arid region.

The raid, by France’s Operation Barkhane counter-terrorism mission, came days after six peacekeepers from Burkina Faso were killed in an attack claimed by AQIM, one of the deadliest ever against the UN force in Mali.
