We all know that N.Mali is difficult at the moment and has been so for several years.
Its no surprise then that kidnappings and strife continue in the region. However there are elements to a recent report involving the kidnapping of a Taureg man by AQ linked insurgents that are worth noting here. First, the Taureg (and four other Tauregs) were thought to be providing intelligence to the French military and second, the Taureg was beheaded. The latter detail echoes events elsewhere in other trouble spots but one which hasn't been a feature of Saharan troubles.
