As kidnappings and turmoil continue in Mali, the country saw two French journalists murdered in Kidal on November 2. The victims were taken hostage by armed gunmen days after four French hostages were released in Niger by Al Qaeda’s North African branch, AQIM. Those hostages had been held captive for three years.
