Arab and Touareg nomads from northern Mali and Niger have sent a threat via a third party to Al-Qaeda Maghreb, telling the organization that if it does not release the six people it abducted, including two Canadian diplomats, the tribes will launch a war against it.
It was reported that the treat came after tribal leaders met with a top Algerian security element in southern Algeria.
