#2 From the article:

Most attacks are attributed to the jihadist group Ansarul Islam, which emerged near the Mali border in December 2016, and to the JNIM (the Group to Support Islam and Muslims), which has sworn allegiance to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

Those groups are believed to be responsible for more than 255 deaths since 2015.

And there’s ISIS in the Greater Sahara as another possibility. Hopefully someone will get around to claiming this bit of excitement this time.
