France Enters Mali in Africa - American Planes Helping

[arista]

[For months the French have been agitating for intervention in Mali. Today Malian officials confirmed that the French military had arrived to help the Malian army fight Islamist advance.
“We are faced with a blatant aggression that is threatening Mali’s very existence. France cannot accept this,” said the French President, Francois Hollande, in a speech to diplomats and journalists this morning. “We will be ready to stop the terrorists’ offensive if it continues.”]


Just Reported Live on Ch4News

They are saying that up to 30 Hostages have been killed, some by the terrorists and some killed in the rescue attempt.

Perhaps trying to resolve the hostage crisis with tanks was a big mistake..!!!

I can see a Good Movie out of this
if save more hostages.


The Problem with most of the Terror
Gang want to die with their hostage.
A expert said on Radio 5

[arista]

2 American Hostages will be let go
if America gives them 2 Muslims in a USA Jail.

So unless America goes in
they sadly will be killed.

They have rigged the Gas plant with Bombs
so its still a War Zone.

Around 10 British are missing.

Although the rescue attempt was a bit of a disaster we have to remember that there were many workers saved,Algeria has sent a message out to the terrorists that there will be NO negotiation and any hostage takers will face almost certain death,i applaud them for that,the captured terrorists should be grilled then executed. That is the only way Al quaida will be beaten,those types will only stop if we start taking heavy measures against them,Saddam Hussain,Gadaffi,Mubarack and the syrian leader kept Islamists under control for years until we stuck our noses in and decided to give them "freedom"........thats one thing they dont understand,they only understand a fist of iron.

The Algerians need applauding......i hate it when i hear oooooo the SAS wouldve done better:rolleyes:

Totally agree, this situation was never going to end well, the Algerians had to move in quick as all the Hostages (Non Muslim - Western) were being prepared to be moved to some undisclosed desert location where they would be kept for God's knows how long before ALL of them would have been slaughtered. There would be no deals no money no demands just cold blooded murder.

At least the Algerian authorities managed to create conditions where a lot of hostages were rescued and others managed to escape in all the confusion.

Also the Gas plant had to be saved as the wealth it generates is in the Billions of Dollars, the Army had to go in early to deny the terrorists time to destroy the plant or at least cause major damage.

[MTVN]

Yeah I think it's understandable that they acted as they did, the Algerians have been battling terrorism on their own soil for decades, and have generally done so effectively, and did not want any foreign governments dictating to them how best to handle the situation. They understand these militant Islamists well and know how adept they are at operating in the north Africa region and didn't want to set a precedent of allowing them any leeway or be held to ransom. It's a shame that it's turned out as it has with so many dead but we shouldn't lay the blame at the door of the Algerians here
