Although some gun-hung tough guys are eliminated from time to time, it also allows the terrorist organization to recover large quantities of arms and ammunition. The terrorist organization managed, according to reports, to seize quantities of arms and ammunition after each confrontation with the Mauritanian army. The latest was the announcement issued by AQIM following the military operation on Mauritanian territory last Friday, and recovering a large quantity of arms and ammunition including 8 two Kalashnikov, two PK, three RPG, 4 guns, 9 bullet proof vests, etc.. According to experts, these weapons are carried by the gun-hung tough guys to the north of Algeria where the residue of terrorism in their stronghold surrounded by security forces, to commit terrorist operations on Algerian territory and then return back to the south where they live in peace on the Malian territory. Despite the efforts of the Mauritanian authorities in their fight against the terrorist organization on the borders of Mali and sometimes even on Malian territory, they often wipe setbacks due to lack of means. What makes the terrorist organization even stronger and the consequences affect the security of both Mauritania and Algeria. |
