Al-Mourabitoun ((アラビア語:المرابطون) ''al-Murābiṭūn''; "The Sentinels") is an African militant jihadist organisation formed by a merger between Ahmed Ould Amer, a.k.a. Ahmed al-Tilemsi's Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa and Mokhtar Belmokhtar's Masked Men Brigade. Al-Mourabitoun is composed mostly of Tuaregs and Arabs from the northern Mali regions of Timbuktu, Kidal and Gao, but also includes Algerians, Tunisians and other nationalities. Its area of operations is in the north of Mali, near towns such as Tessalit and Ansongo.〔 However, the group's establishment was announced by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the group's leader who was said to be an Algerian veteran of the anti-Soviet jihad in Afghanistan and the 2002 battles against American forces in the same country, later identified by French Intelligence as an Egyptian known as Abubakr al-Nasri (al-Masri). Abubakr was reportedly killed by French Special forces in North Eastern Mali between 10 and 17 April 2014, as was senior commander Omar Ould Hamaha weeks earlier.〔 The group is named after the Almoravids, a North African Islamic dynasty of the 11th and 12th centuries.〔 The group has been designated as a terrorist organization by the UN, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. On 14 May 2015, Adnan Abu Walid Sahraoui released an audio message pledging the group's allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Belmokhtar issued a statement several days later rejecting this pledge and stating that it had not been approved beforehand, seeming to indicate a split in the group. On 20 November 2015, Al-Mourabitoun claimed responsibility for an attack on the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, that killed at least 27 people. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Mourabitoun (militant group)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
