DAKAR, July 4 (Reuters) – West Africa’s al Qaeda affiliate, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM), on Saturday claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on military positions in Mali and said it had seized control of at least three of them.
Reuters could not independently verify the claim, which was distributed via JNIM’s official communication channels.
