French Forces Had Major Success, killing Al-Qaeda Commander
French forces had major success, killing five militants including an al-Qaeda commander in Mali.
French forces and military helicopters killed five militants, including the al-Qaeda commander in Mali. The French military announced this effect on Friday.
French military spokesman Colonel Frederick Barbri said on Friday that the target of the operation was the RVIM Islamic fundamentalist group, Bah Ag Moussa.
Moussa was included in the UN sanctions list and was believed to be responsible for several attacks on Mali’s people and international forces.
Killed five terrorists in a truck
Surveillance drones helped identify Moussa’s truck in the Maneka region of eastern Mali. After this, 15 French commandos sent to helicopters, and the scene attacked.
All five occupants of the truck were killed. Frederick said that they fired at French forces, ignoring the warning fire.
He said this was a statutory step in self-defense and the bodies were treated in accordance with international human rights laws.
Since 2013, thousands of French soldiers have been stationed in Mali. These soldiers are fighting a war against the terrorists of the Islamic State.
Al-Qaeda commander killed within five months
About five months ago, French military forces killed Abdelmalek Drokdal, the chief of the Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghrib (AAQMI) in northern Mali.
Then French Defense Minister Florence Parley said that on 3 June, French military forces killed the chief of AQMI and several of his close associates during an operation in northern Mali.
During this operation in Mali, a senior commander of the Islamic State group was arrested.
This is our major success against terrorism and our soldiers will continue the campaign against these terrorists even further.
