thread_title:  New leader 

message: As per a number of articles from Al-Jazeera English (see  for a list), I have inserted into the article that it is strongly believed to have been created, if not directly controlled, by Algerian intelligence. The emirs have also been reputed to be agents of the DRS, serving the agency as a method of propping up exaggerated and fabricated claims of a terrorist threat by perpetrating terrorist acts. Through purporting to be jihadis, and attracting dupes through recruitment tactics, AQIM creates a pretext for crackdowns on opposition to Bouteflika's régime and other US/French client states in the region. France's interest in West and North African politics is imperialist, as it almost always has been, and there have been multiple coverups surrounding US/French involvement in Algeria. 68.227.56.16 (talk) 09:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Widely believed to be DRS-created 

message: What I hear is they are co-founded by ex-Polisario fighters gone religious. This would explain their choice for Qutbist Islam (which is more socialist and anti - feudal, hence anti-Malikte)  As I understand from contacts in Mauritania and Mali, their strategy is to recruit from Muslims, disenfranchised by main stream (Malikite) Islam in Northern Africa. It is important for anyone who wants to reduce AQIM's potential breeding- and recruiting ground, or who wants to end policies that feeds AQIM and their likes with recruits. (Such as now feudal Islam ruling much of rural Libya.) I stuffed it in the event-section, but it merits its own chapter, I think. Anyone wanna do it? Or can I?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pieter Felix Smit (talk • contribs) 12:10, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Chapter about their ideology vis a vis other Muslims, and their stategy? 

message: I read several news stories that: 
AQIM faces many desertions after violence against its own fighters, and a leadership struggle,
AQIM quarrel about how to share rantsom money, 
AQIM faces Malian Tuareg factions, threatening taking up arms against them.
The source that I trust best is Raby ould Idoumou, because his work for AMDH is excellent. http://magharebia.com/cocoon/awi/xhtml1/en_GB/features/awi/reportage/2012/01/13/reportage-01

message: I see the author referenced a BBC News article to justify the statement "AQIM...is estimated to have raised more than $50 million in the last decade". However the article that was referenced does not contain this fact.
In fact I have read a similar fact in New York Times "AQIM is estimated to have amassed as much as $90 million or more in ransoms over the past decade". Where did the $50 million come from?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.18.22.13 (talk) 09:28, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I think I understand the rationale for a separate article. Edwin Dyer is notable only for the manner of his death. Therefore, he should remain as a paragraph in this article. I will make sure there is a redirect to this article. Op47 (talk) 22:43, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I merged this paragraph into the Timeline of attacks before noticing the redirect. I have edited the redirect, but the paragraph can be reverted to a separate one if need be. Gazkthul (talk) 02:40, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split tag March 2013 - Edwin Dyer 

message: I propose splitting the sections of this article that deal with the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) into their own article of that name. At the time the organization was a largely Algerian focused and based group, which evolved considerably after joining al Qaeda. A summary section can be created that describes how this group evolved into AQIM, while all sections of the article that refer to the GSPC be migrated to it.
