Mali: Al-Qaeda In The Islamic Maghreb Arrests Women For Not Wearing Veils In
Their Own Homes In Timbuktu.


Islamists love nothing more than to terrorize women.

OUAGADOUGOU - New fighting and a crackdown on women not wearing veils by
Islamist militants on Friday marred peace moves by two rival groups in Mali's
desert north despite pledges they were ready for peace talks with Bamako.

In Islamist-controlled Timbuktu, a local official said dozens of women
were arrested on Thursday by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) for not
wearing veils.

"The Islamists were going into homes to arrest unveiled women," he said.

The women were being "imprisoned" at a disused bank, a medical source
added, as AQIM militants vowed to continue the crackdown in the city which
they control with Islamist group Ansar Dine, saying "that nothing can
prevent them from doing so".

With the north of the country in the hands of a number of Islamist groups,
a Tuareg separatist leader meanwhile said his National Movement for the
Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) had launched an "offensive" to retake the key
north-central region of Gao controlled by the Al-Qaeda linked Islamist
rebels of MUJAO (Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa).

But late Friday security sources said the fighting had ended and that the
MNLA suffered a "heavy defeat".

An interim administration has been running Mali since the leaders of a
March military coup stepped back from power under international pressure in
April.
