The North African branch of al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of two Frenchmen in Niger.
The two men were found dead on Saturday after a failed attempt to rescue them on the Niger-Mali border.
A statement by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) did not make it clear how the men died.
France had already said it believed al-Qaeda was responsible, and had suggested that the men were murdered by their captors. - BBC
