According to media, Al-Qaeda's North Africa network (al-Qaeda of the Islamic Maghreb) has now claimed responsibility for the abduction last December of two Canadian diplomats, one of them a United Nations envoy, and more recently, four European tourists in Niger, al-Jazeera television reported. "We are happy to bring our Islamic nation the good news of the mujahedeen’s success in carrying out two quality operations in Niger," the group's spokesperson said in an audio tape aired on the pan-Arab channel this week. "[The Mujahedeen] reserves the right to deal with the six captives under Islamic sharia [law]."
