AQIM terrorists killed in Mali
French forces in Mali killed twelve fighters from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), France's defence minister said Thursday (March 6th).
The Tuesday night offensive involved the use of drones, Jean-Yves Drian said. The operation was confirmed by the United Nations mission in Mali (MINUSMA).
"Islamists, notably from Libya… had set up two bases in the north-east," a Malian army source told AFP.
The Reaper drones used in the counter-terrorism operation are based in Niamey, Niger.
