Al-Qaeda denounces Mauritania’s ‘infidel’ military junta: report

The suspected head of Al-Qaeda in Mauritania urged the country’s Muslims not to recognise the ruling military junta, calling it an “infidel regime,” AFP learned Monday.

The denunciation came as the head of the African Union (AU) Commission said he held an “optimistic” meeting with the junta’s leader General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, aimed at restoring a constitutional government. >>>>>

Al-Qaeda seeks the same as the U.S. and the other Western – democratic nations, a return to the democratically elected government. Except maybe they aren’t “Al-Qaida.” Maybe they want us to believe that anyone with just Islamic rule should be labeled as Al-Qaida.
