Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... . No group has grabbed credit for the attack. The army said in a statement that the patrol was ambushed near the town of Lere on Sunday morning. "The provisional toll is at four soldiers killed," it said. The attack comes as La Belle France, which has deployed over 5,000 counter-terrorism soldiers in Mali to help combat krazed killers, said on Friday that it has resumed jointed military operations with Mali after they were suspended following a coup.
