Reports from Mali say three Europeans have been kidnapped and a fourth killed at Timbuktu in the north of the country. The information comes from a Malian government source.
The person killed is said to be German; the others’ nationalities are from the Netherlands, South Africa and Sweden, officials and witnesses said, as officials on Saturday ordered a plane to evacuate foreigners from the tourist destination.
The latest attack comes a day after two French geologists were kidnapped from their hotel at Hombori, 200 kilometres to the south. French troops have joined Malian forces in trying to find them.
Groups linked to al Qaeda have kidnapped several westerners and taken them into hiding in the vast desert of northern Mali. A total of nine Europeans are now being held in the Sahara, including six French nationals.

It amazes me that nonmuslims still go to Islamic lands for vacation! The Satan Worshipers are animals and should be caged. Wall off all islamic countries, allowing no one in or out and eventually, the animals will kill off one another, since that is what they live for. What a sick, sick belief, it is a Death Cult, not a religion.
