Al Qaeda group claims killing of French journalists in Mali: report NOUAKCHOTT | Wed Nov 6, 2013 3:48pm EST (Reuters) - The Mauritanian news website Sahara Medias said on Wednesday it had received a claim of responsibility from al Qaedas regional wing for the killing of two French journalists in northern Mali. A Sahara Medias reporter said a spokesman for Abdelkrim al-Targui, a senior regional commander for al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), had called by satellite phone to read a communique in Arabic. The caller had started by speaking in Tamashek, the language spoken by Tuaregs in northern Mali. The communique said the killing was only a small part of the price French President Francois Hollande and his people would have to pay for this years military intervention, which drove out Islamist militants who had seized half the country. reuters/article/2013/11/06/us-mali-france-kidnap-idUSBRE9A50VJ20131106
