PARIS (Reuters) – Al Qaeda\u2019s North Africa wing has said it was responsible for the killing of three French soldiers in Mali, jihadist monitoring organisation SITE Intel reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The soldiers, who were taking part in France\u2019s Barkhane military operations in Mali against Islamic fighters, were killed on Monday when an improvised explosive device hit their armoured vehicle, the French Presidency said in a statement.<\/p>\n
SITE Intel said on Twitter that Jama\u2019at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), which has repeatedly attacked soldiers and civilians in Mali and neighbouring Burkina Faso, had said it was responsible for the attack.<\/p>\n
France\u2019s military command was not immediately available for comment.<\/p>\n
