Algiers (Reuters)-residents of Algeria Djamel Abdelhamid Abou Zeid Okacha succeeded as the leader of Al Qaida linked Group AQIM in the Sahara, Algerian Ennahar reported TV, Sunday.

Abou Zeid was killed in army raid in northern Mali several of Chad last week, Reuters reported.

Okacha, who is also known as Yahia Abu El Hamam, joined AQIM in northern Mali in 2004, said one security source who knows the AQIM told Reuters.

"He was there at the time of the attack on a military barracks in Mauritania in 2005, and he also witnessed the murder of an American citizen in 2009," the source said, pointing out the u.s. aid worker Christopher Leggett.

Okacha (34) has a close relationship with the leader of AQIM Abdelmalek Droukdel because they are members of the Group Algiers, pointing at the militants who was born in the capital city of Algeria.

Mali, who had become one of stable democracies in Africa, experienced the uncertainty after the coup d ' état in March 2012 overthrow the Government of President Amadou Toumani Toure.

The international community is worried that country will become the new hotbed of terrorists and they support the efforts of Africa to intervene militarily.

France, which is working with the military of Mali, on January 11, launched operation when militants threaten advanced to the capital of Mali, Bamako, after months of doubt about the African intervention forces to help drive out hard-line groups from the northern region.

The United Nations has approved the placement of the African intervention force consisting of about 3300 soldiers under the auspices of the ECOWAS grouping of West African States. With the involvement of Chad, which has pledged 2,000 soldiers, means the number of intervention forces that would be much greater.

Hard-line groups, which said the experts acting under the umbrella of Al Qaida in Islamic Morocco (AQIM), dominate the North, Mali to the extent greater than that of France, since April last year.

Tribal rebels in mid-January 2012 launched more war decades for the independence of the Tuareg in the northern region they claim as their land, reinforced by heavily armed guerrillas who recently returned from Libya. However, their struggle was then hijacked by hard-line muslim groups.

Disgruntled army coup in March meant to give the military more authority in order to quell a revolt in the North, but it in fact backfire and the rebels took control of three major cities in the North of Mali within three days. (M014)

If peace is reached between us and Israel, Israel really know that all Arab and Islamic countries, i.e. 57 States, will directly recognize the country Israel. "
Ramallah, West Bank (Reuters)-the United States President Barack Obama on Thursday voiced its opposition against the construction of the settlements Israel however pressing Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas to lay claim to the construction of settlements by Israel is stopped before Middle East peace talks can be restarted.

After being greeted with a very warm in Israel, Obama visited the West Bank--the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel, where the Palestinians are disappointed with the small hope survived them that the arrival of the US President will accelerate the formation of an independent Palestinian State, reported Reuters.

In a news conference with Abbas, Obama said that he "had" to describe Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington does not consider that the settlement construction activities help "peace efforts".

However, Obama did not urge an expansion of these settlements was halted--a request she gave in the early during his first term as President.

It implies a sense of due to the failure of Israel and the Palestinians in finding a way to restart the negotiations deadlocked since 2010.

However, he did not offer any new ideas about how Israel and the Palestinians could return to the negotiating table at a time when the prospect of a peace agreement in the region looks bleak disturbed by conflict between the West and Iran nuclear and the civil war in Syria.

The main problem at the moment, Obama said, is how to achieve sovereignty for the Palestinians and security for Israel.

"That doesn't mean that the construction of the settlements is not important. It means that if we solve those problems, the issue of the settlements will be addressed, "said Obama.

Some 150 Palestinian protesters gathered in Ramallah to launch a protest against the visit of Obama.

They are dammed by the police are on guard so that they do not approach the compound where Abbas is located.

With a smile and was accompanied by Abbas, Obama met with Palestinian officials in nearly all lined up along the red carpet.

Obama had previously explained that he had not brought any new initiatives concerning the peace talks.

He visited Israel and the Palestinian territories is more for "listen".

However, he said that the Foreign Minister of his country, John Kerry, will give the time and energy in efforts to diluting the differences between the two sides while the United States attempts to bring them back to the negotiating table.

Abbas reiterated his assertion about freezing the construction of settlements, but he gives the prospect of wider peace between Israel and other Arab countries if the Palestinian State is formed.

"If peace is reached between us and Israel, Israel really know that all Arab and Islamic countries, i.e. 57 States, will directly recognize the country Israel," he said. (T008/M014)
