Algerian official criticizes Mali compliance with al-Qaeda demand

2010-03-03

Algeria on Tuesday (March 2nd) continued to reproach Mali's decision to release four prison inmates in exchange for a French hostage held by al-Qaeda, Tout sur L'Algerie reported. "We hope this initiative in Mali is not repeated. Any release of a terrorist could, at that stage, bring an added danger to innocent victims," Benchaa Dani, the foreign ministry's director of multilateral relations, said on national radio. After Mali freed the two Algerians, a Burkinabe and a Mauritanian on February 21st, Algeria recalled its ambassador from Bamako "for consultations".
