The Paris prosecutor has confirmed the identity of the prime suspect in the killing of two French radio journalists in Mali last week as a militant with ties to al-Qaida’s north Africa branch.
Francois Molins said an “intense” manhunt was underway for Baye Ag Bakabo, known to authorities as a low-level drug trafficker from the Tuareg ethnic group who had ties to al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb.
