WASHINGTON (AFP) - A statement from a group identifying itself as Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of five Europeans in Mali in two separate incidents, the SITE monitoring group said Sunday. The message posted along with pictures of the victims on Jihadi forums identified two French nationals and identified three others as Europeans but didnt indicate their nationality, said SITE in a statement. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM) said the kidnappings were a revenge act for the repeated aggression of France in the region and the continuous foolish policies of French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
