Officials Call Al Qaeda to task for the killing of French hostages in Niger

[Ropey]

Two French nationals kidnapped on Friday in Niger's capital Niamey by suspected militants linked to al-Qaeda were apparently executed amid a failed rescue bid by French and Niger troops.

The 25-year-old men from northern France were seized at gunpoint from a bar frequented by expatriates, bringing to eight the total number of French nationals kidnapped in the west African country in recent years.

Analysts have warned that the weekend's operation could endanger hostages still being held by the al-Qaeda-linked militants.

Anne Giudicelli, Managing Director of Paris-based security consultancy Terrorisc, told The Daily Telegraph that the botched raid "sends a message that the French are no longer willing to tolerate hostage-taking. The captors are surrounded militarily and there is no longer an advantage to keeping the five hostages alive." France today told its nationals to avoid all travel to the Sahel region, one of the world's most hostile. Foreigners have repeatedly been kidnapped throughout the region, with Canadian, Italian, Swiss and Spanish nationals among those held for extended periods.[/I]

Extreme Muslim Fanatics at work all over the world. Creating dissension and hate. Al-Qaida is Sunni extremism. Now in Niger working towards what? For their black brethren?

al-Qaeda is clear and they are creating dissension all over the world with the desire to end Western "domination" and replace it with Islamic domination.

It brings France one step closer to action. Legislative action is changing the arena and the next ebb will be once again, a forced ebb.

 

[Mr. H.]

Yeah buddy. That's the ebb, son.

He doesn't have to agree with me Jroc. But even so, he's not long for his position, and is fighting tooth and nail to hold onto it.

It does not look good for him. The Republicans have hamstrung him and now all he can do is spout off impotently.

They can't toss him because they don't want the backlash, but he's as weak as Powell was in his last year.

Too bad, so sad...
