Drugs And Kidnaping Finance Terrorist Groups In The Sahel Region: "Suspicion of several western intelligence agencies of links between AQIM, the Western Sahara Separatist Polisario sympathizers, and networks of guns and drugs trafficking in the Sahel region are being confirmed with the latest incident.
The arrest, on December 9, by the Malian security forces of six major drug traffickers, all 'drawn from the ranks of the Western sahara Separatist Polisario Group, has confirmed the apprehensions of intelligence services.
A Malian security source confirmed to (AFP) the presence among the six captured smugglers of an individual by the name of Sultan Ould Bady. He is a “Sahrawi”, affiliated with western Sahara Separatists, “a very big drug dealer who is wanted by several law enforcement agencies in the sub-region,' the source added. Besides drug trafficking, Sultan Ould Bady had 'kidnapped and ransomed several European hostages in the Sahara before joining the ranks of AQIM'.
Pending the outcome of investigations into the enigmatic Sultan Ould Bady, the Malian security forces are closely collaborating with their counterparts in neighboring Mauritania.
The services of the two countries who are at war against the terrorist group AQIM said that the six traffickers recently arrested by the Malian belonged to the same network of those that were arrested by the Mauritanian police, two days earlier.
