Richard,
Again, they were kidnapped in Tunisia and smuggled through Algeria to get them into Northern Mali. The Algerian gov't and the Tuareg rebels there had no part in this(unless somebody can provide verifiable evidence aside from hypothetical conjecture). The gov't and the Tuareg rebels have more to lose involving themselves in something of this nature. Now the GSPC...they're another story...they're looking to gain more stature and a purported allegiance with Al-Q may help them from a media perspective, but in reality...its probably not worth much.
Paula's issue is Northern Nigeria and Algeria...the Al-Quada link is not there...unless of course George W said so...and we all know how often he's right about that stuff
