Bamako -
Islamists based in northern Mali, under daily bombardment by France's fighter jets, vowed on Monday to avenge the assault on French soil.
"France has attacked Islam. We will strike at the heart of France," said Abou Dardar, a leader of Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, an offshoot of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), speaking to AFP by telephone. - Sapa-AFP
