Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa[edit]

(

)

... that the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa broke away from Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to further jihad in West Africa?

Should spell out AQIM for broad readers. Article needs Arabic language. Source #2 is a bare URL; #1 could be replaced by a long-lasting source with same title and same content; this would last more than #3. Not sure how interesting the hook is to broad viewers; it ~~is not to me~~ wasn't to me until I realized they are related to Al-Qaeda. --George Ho (talk) 02:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

~~Can do~~

~~Though google sources are long lasting, unlike Yahoo.~~

~~Language done too~~

Also any alternaive hook suggestions?Lihaas (talk) 05:54, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I stroke that part because I have seen potential hooks; this is becoming interesting, although not the way media puts it. Still, not interesting as other things outside this article to me... There are other incidents that the organization may be involved in. --George Ho (talk) 08:17, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

~~Sorry, not sure wht youre trying to say?~~Saw your cmment above. We could also link a hook to the arms influx from the libyan war? Any other ideas?Lihaas (talk) 15:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hook okay for me; could not use green check because I'm not either experienced or an administrator. --George Ho (talk) 07:40, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Pardon me if its a gruesome thought, but perhaps put this up on the anniversary of OBLs killing? alqaeda link?Lihaas (talk) 15:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
