the African-led Support Mission in Mali, was on
a non-combat mission when it crashed.

incident has begun and two key Boko Haram
terrorists, Mohammed Ibn Saleh and
Abdulkareem Ibrahim, have been pointed out as
the brains behind the attack.

Since they are said to have anti-aircraft guns, this might link them to the crash. If it has come to the level of shooting down jets, we need to deal a very decisive and final blow on them. Those birds cost lots of money.

If this turns out to be true, it is a welcomed development. Sharia is sweeter than amnesty.
