Defeated in Mali, Islamists Begin to Reorganize
[An Nahar] Ousted from their major northern strongholds by a French-led military intervention and all but defeated in their mountain hideouts, Mali's Islamist hard boyz are beginning to regroup at home and abroad.French and African soldiers have inflicted heavy losses since launching a military operation on January 11 to block the advance of al-Qaeda-linked snuffies on the capital Bamako, with Gay Paree claiming to have killed 400 rebels. But dozens have fled Mali over the mountains of northern Niger and Chad, passing into southern Libya and western Sudan, where they are reorganizing, military sources told Agence La Belle France Presse, while others are recuperating in Algeria.
