Rukmini Callimachi, the New York Times reporter who broke the major story a few days ago about the last days of the hostages..sourced largely from a nineteen-year-old currently on trial for terrorism in Belgium -- broke this story when she found thousands of Al Qaida documents left behind when the group withdrew from Timbuktu, in her last job at AP, according to NPR: Al-Qaida left behind the pages just after a French-led military intervention drove the jihadi fighters out of the area, where they had imposed a harsh version of Islamic law. The documents include directives and letters from al-Qaida commanders. Now at the Times, Callimachi continues to cover al-Qaida and synthesize the information in the documents.
