Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
French forces have overtaken and dismantled a major al-Qaeda base in the northern mountains of Mali.
French defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told the BBC that a “very impressive” amount of weapons had been captured at the site. Tons of AK-47s, grenade launchers and even pickup trucks were found hidden inside natural caves in the region.
Le Drian admitted that he never expected French troops to find the amount of weapons and vehicles recovered from the base.
A French national found fighting with the terrorists was taken into custody and will be sent to France for trial.
Le Drian told reporters that they found a system in place, described as a “terrorist war network”, which could have brought youth into the country and trained them as foot soldiers for the terrorists attempting to overtake the country.
