]]> Islamist terrorists have killed ten United Nations peacekeepers in an attack on a northern Mali town.

25 Chadian troop were injured in the raid by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

The jihadis say their attack is in response to the visit to Chad by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between their countries.

It shows yet again that the blue-helmets operation in Mali, known as MINUSMA is the most dangerous peacekeeping mission on the planet.

Chadian President Idris Deby, who visited Jerusalem last November, says Netanyahu’s visit does not change their stance on the  Palestinian issue.

Israel is bent on finding allies in the developing world that historically support the Palestinian cause.
