Mali Militants 'In Disarray' After French Air Strikes -- BBC
Three weeks of French targeted air strikes in northern Mali have left Islamist militants "in disarray", France's defence minister has said.
Jean-Yves Le Drian said the jihadists had now scattered, marking a "turning-point" in France's intervention.
His comments come as the French troops continue to secure Kidal, the last town occupied by militants.

Col Thierry Burkhard said the "fairly significant" targets had been hit in the Aguelhok mountains near the Algerian border, reports the AFP news agency.
