NOUAKCHOTT, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Mauritanian news website Sahara Medias said on Wednesday it had received a claim from al Qaeda-linked militants for the killing at the weekend of two French journalists in northern Mali.
Abdallah Mohamedi, head of Sahara Medias, a company that is often sent statements by Islamist militants in Mali, said the claim had come by email from fighters loyal to Abdelkrim al-Targui, a senior commander in the region.
