one of the more memorable names and famous international terrorist circles. he s also got a face that s hard to forget. you can tell from looking at him talk what s got one eye. he was wounded while fighting in algeria in the 1990s. he is one of the most notorious international jihadists in the world. he s been based in north africa. he was credited/blamed with that massive attack on that algerian gas plant in january. as the french were mounting this massive military campaign just over the border in mali. that was january 2013. and then two months later in march 2013, mokhtar belmokhtar he was reported to have been killed. moving over seas now, still no confirmation that a top al qaeda command has been killed in chad. the military said it killed mokhtar belmokhtar in a base. he claimed responsibility for a deadly attack last month on the algerian oil refinery. so the attack in january
it was the french that pushed for u.s. involvement to oust moammar gadhafi in libya as well. one of the groups that claimed responsibility for today s attack is called the moribiton. its leader is a one-eyed radical. he was originally an al qaeda commander but the terror group didn t think highly of him. an intern letter shows the group this is the guy here the associated press obtain an internal letter for failing to answer his phone. that s why they got rid of him. being absent from meet examination not filing expense reports. so it appears al qaeda requires its commanders to file expense reports. he split from the group in 2013 and soon after launched a major attack on an algerian gas plant and that attack resulted in a standoff with the algerian military, and ended with 40 people dead, including americans. veilingors link that group to a shooting earlier this year, one that killed five people inside a
making use of social media, throwing their own propaganda out there discounting what the government is saying. the government is trying to do the best they can i would argue in a very difficult situation. we have to remember these things don t end well. look at the algerian gas plant attack. you lost 39 or so hostages, foreign hostages. there have been a number of incidents. they have to take their time would be my point. jenna: we hope to see some sort of a resolution for sake of their families sometime soon. mike, great as always. thank you. thank you. more coming up, a court date for lindsay lohan s mother. she is entering a plea to drunk driving charges. julie banderas joins us with a live update on today s fox 411 plus ariel castro s son is speaking out saying he is still shell-shocked by his father s crimes. what else he has to say straight ahead.

you have to look at recent examples. the mumbai attacks that was done, you look at the algerian gas plant attack even going back to the moscow theater tend to be a lot of casualties among the hostages when you start talking about taking groups like this. they just don t care. they have nothing to lose. they re not interested in negotiating. and at the end of the day what they re looking for is the biggest media splash possible. well, we heard from very early on that they would not negotiate. we heard that reporter out of south africa say that they took to twitter to tell everybody that. a question about how the kenyan authorities are carrying this out with the help of the israelis, why particularly the well, in part because israeli special forces were on the ground already. and so there was proximity. and they ve got a great deal of experience, unfortunately, in having to deal with operations. they tend to be very good at
they also complained about his poor fundraising record. that criticism by the way was referring to the terrorist accepting a lower price on a ran some demand. the fox report s correspondent jonathan hunt in the newsroom on this. jonathan it, seems like this is a pretty bad relationship for quite some time. yeah. apparently these letters of complaint to each other had been going back and forth between al qaeda and mac tar bell mac tar. the algerian based terrorist. in one the al qaeda boss letters they wrote about something he had is said to them saying that your letter contained some amount of back biting, name calling and sneerg. then the al qaeda bosses belmoktar and group were not very good terrorists. they will clearly notice the failure of the brigade to carry out spectacular operations despite the region s vast
