Niger Islamist Attackers 'Came from Libya'

Niger Islamist Attackers 'Came from Libya': The attackers who staged twin bombings at an army base and French-run uranium mine in northern Niger came from neighbouring Libya, Niger's President Mahamadou Issoufou said Saturday.

"The attackers, according to all the information we have received, came from Libya, from the south of Libya," Issoufou told television channel France 24, confirming what authorities in his country had said about the Thursday attacks, which killed at least 20 people and were claimed by two Islamist groups.
