commander Khalid Abu Al-Abbas
The spokesman of Al-Mulathimun Brigade that is led by commander Khalid Abu Al-Abbas (Mukhtar Bal’Mukhtar) refuted in a telephone interview with Nouakchott News Agency that the so called news about the death of 4 of their fighters in a clash with the Algerian army in Tinwani west of Tinzawaten in the farthest southern Algerian borders. Adding that this is another attempt by whom he described as "mouth pieces of the intelligence services" to delude the youth who wish to join the Jihadi groups. The so called news concerning the closed borders which are impossible to cross is fake too, it is absolutely untrue.
Also the spokesman of Al-Mulathimun Brigade denied that the brigade have seceded from Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), after appointing Yahiya Abu Al-Humam as an Amir for the Sahara, and he added that these are false intelligence allegations similar to the news of clashes with Ansar Al-Din Movement.
