Mali

A French national was kidnapped in northeastern Mali; a manhunt has ensued to free the man. The unnamed French national is thought to have been conducting research on malaria in the northeastern Mali town of Menaka when three armed men wearing “turbans” took him. It is unclear whether Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is responsible.
