Ansar Dine, a mainly Tuareg jihadist front for Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), has released a video showing Malian Army soldiers that were captured in last month’s large-scale attack on a military base in southern Mali.
The video, one of the first produced by Ansar Dine’s new Al Rimaah Media outlet, shows five soldiers sitting in front of the jihadist group’s flag. Each soldier then speaks to the camera, saying their name, rank, and where they were captured.
The highest ranking soldier shown is a First Sergeant, while three others are only identified as “soldiers.” In prior releases related to the Nampala attack, Ansar Dine did not mention any captives taken during the battle.
The jihadist group did not indicate that these soldiers will be executed in the video and it is possible the soldiers could be used as bargaining chips for potential prisoner swaps in the future.
