The re-emergence of AQIM in Africa (Olivier Guitta, Al Jazeera)

On March 13, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) terrorists stormed the beachof Grand Bassam in the Ivory Coast and killed 19 people. This should not have come as a surprise because in January, France had warned the Ivory Coast of possible jihadist attacks against beaches popular with foreigners. On March 18, AQIM attacked an oil and gas facility in southern Algeria with rockets. These attacks prove once again the re-emergence of AQIM as a terror force to be reckoned with.
