Al-Qaeda’s branch in northern Africa on Monday confirmed that one of
its senior leaders, Abdelhamid Abou Zeid, had been killed in northern
Mali, a report said.
Zeid was killed as a result of a French bombing raid in the Ifoghas
mountains, a member of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQMI) who
normally writes for jihadist websites told the private Mauritanian news
agency Sahara Medias.
He denied claims, however, that another Islamist leader in the
region, Mokhtar Belmokhtar, had been killed, saying that Belmokhtar “is
in the Gao region, waging the fight against he enemy.”
