  • Updated: 02 Dec 2012
A French man taken hostage by Islamist rebels last week in southwest Mali says, in a video filmed by his captors, that he blames France's foreign policy for his abduction and urged Paris to respond to his abductors demands. It is not clear what the militants demands were, but Islamist groups in the Sahara have routinely demanded ransoms of millions of dollars to release hostages. The news comes as dozens of Algerian jihadists were reported to have arrived in the northern capital of Timbuktu to support al-Qaeda linked groups who are imposing an increasingly brutal version of Sharia law in the vast northern areas under their control. European leaders are growing increasingly anxious that Mali could turn into a safe-haven for Islamic extremists and a platform for militant attacks, including in Europe. Almost two-thirds of the country fell into Islamist hands after a coup toppled the government earlier this year.
