Belmokhtar empire based on crime
[MAGHAREBIA] Al-Qaeda's breakaway bandit has found himself in real trouble.

The French and African military offensive against armed terrorist groups in northern Mali, the crackdown on the Algerian-Tunisian border, tough security measures along the Mauritania-Mali frontier and in Niger have all hampered al-Qaeda's ability to execute attacks.

And for former al-Qaeda emir turned independent terrorist commander Mokhtar Belmokhtar, Mali is becoming a dangerous place to base his fledgling Mourabitounes.
