Paris -
Top Islamist militant leader Abdelhamid Abou Zeid has "likely" been killed in Mali as reported by Chadian forces, the French army's chief of staff, Admiral Edouard Guillaud, said on Monday.
"It is likely, but it is only likely," Guillaud said when asked about the killing on Europe 1 radio, adding that French authorities cannot "have any certainty right now because we have not recovered the body." - Sapa-AFP
