Happy Malians and the dead jihadis: the ‘disgusting but wonderful’ war in photos

by | 12th, February 2013

IN Mali, the fighting is brutal:

The crowd gawked at human torso remains lying in the rubble, along with other fragments of flesh. “It’s disgusting but wonderful to see. These people tortured us, they did nothing but damage here,” said Mahamane Tandina, 24, cheered on by the crowd. “We like this, frankly,” he said with a smile.

Ani Boka Arby weeps as the body of her husband, Mohamed Lamine, is unearthed in Timbuktu, Mali on Friday Feb. 8, 2013. Lamine, an Arab, was last seen being led away at gunpoint by Malian soldiers on Jan. 28. Children found his body and that of another Arab man days later, lying facedown in the side of a dune on the outskirts of this desert capital. Human rights groups have warned that the military intervention to take back the territory in Mali's north which was occupied by al-Qaida-linked extremists last year, could open the door to reprisals killings. Especially vulnerable are ethnic minorities suspected of having supported the extremists, including the country's Arabs. (AP Photo/Rukmini Callimachi)
