Al Qaeda attacks Benin

Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Africa’s Sahel region, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, announced on Monday that it had attacked and captured two barracks belonging to the military of Benin. The attacks, reportedly near Benin’s border with Burkina Faso, likely show the group’s intentions to expand its operations to more countries.
