Niger: 20 morts dans deux attentats-suicides, le Mujao revendique

Deux attentats suicides quasiment simultanés contre l'armée nigérienne et le groupe nucléaire français Areva, revendiqués par les islamistes du Mujao, ont fait jeudi 20 morts, essentiellement des militaires, dans le nord du Niger. A Agadez, des élèves officiers sont retenus en otages par un assaillant impliqué dans l'opération perpétrée à l'aube contre un camp militaire de cette grande ville du nord désertique du Niger, selon le gouvernement. Il s'agit des premiers attentats du genre dans l'histoire de ce pays sahélien très pauvre engagé depuis début 2013 au Mali voisin, aux côtés de troupes françaises et africaines, contre des mouvements jihadistes. Le Mouvement pour l'unicité et le jihad en Afrique de l'Ouest (Mujao), l'un des groupes armés qui occupaient le nord du Mali depuis 2012 avant d'en être chassés depuis janvier, a revendiqué ces attaques. "Grâce à Allah, nous avons effectué deux opérations contre les ennemis de l'islam au Niger", a déclaré à l'AFP le porte-parole Abu Walid Sahraoui. "Nous avons attaqué la France, et le Niger pour sa coopération avec la France dans la guerre contre la charia" (loi islamique), a-t-il lancé. Le Mujao, également accusé de trafic de drogue, a déjà commis plusieurs attentats-suicides dans le nord du Mali depuis la reprise de cette région par les troupes françaises et africaines, mais c'est la première fois qu'il revendique de tels attentats en dehors du Mali et de l'Algérie. Le premier atte ...
