French Forces Killed over 50 Islamic Terrorists in Mali
According to a report, French forces have claimed that they killed more than 50 terrorists and have captured many others in an operation in Mali. The defence Minister of France said the action was a major blow to Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda. The operation was carried out just after the recent terror attacks in France.
The offensive took place on Friday near the borders of Burkina Faso and Niger, where government troops are struggling to rout an Islamic insurgency, French Defence Minister said.
"I would like to reveal an operation of great importance which was carried out on October 30 in Mali by the Barkhane force, which was able to neutralize more than 50 jihadists and confiscated arms and material," said French Defense Minister Florence Parly.
Two Mirage Fighter jets were also used in this successful operation. The Islamic insurgents were seen running for the shelter and took cover under trees to escape surveillance. French forces also used a drone to launch missiles.
