[Maghrebia] Algeria, Libya and Mali will co-operate to fight security threats linked to al-Qaeda in the Sahel-Saharan strip, Malian start-run newspaper L' Essor reported on Monday (July 20th). "These threats cross borders," Malian President Amadou Toumani Touré was quoted as saying. "We decided to pool our military and intelligence agencies to combat this problem." Touré said the decision to co-ordinate counter-terrorism efforts was made last week during talks with Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi and Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika at the 15th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
