Who is Iyad Ag Ghali, Mali’s most wanted man?
An alliance of al-Qaeda-linked jihadists and Tuareg separatists has carried out the largest coordinated attack in over a decade in Mali.
The al-Qaeda-linked JNIM group — Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin — has expanded in recent years.
Its leader, Iyad Ag Ghali, is the most wanted man in Mali.
The French military, Malian authorities, and Russian mercenaries have all sought, in vain, to capture him.
