Tuareg Rebels Seize Key Northern Mali Town |
2012-03-31 |
Witnesses say Tuareg rebels have taken control of a key town in northeastern Mali. The rebels entered Kidal on Friday, a day after launching an offensive on the remote town, the capital of Mali's Kidal region. Reports from the area say the rebel MNLA was assisted by an Islamist group known as Ansar Edine. The rebellion began in January, a couple of months after heavily-armed Tuareg fighters returned from Libya, where they were assisting ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. |
