Mali Militants 'In Disarray' After French Air Strikes -- BBC
Three weeks of French targeted air strikes in northern Mali have left Islamist militants "in disarray", France's defence minister has said.
Jean-Yves Le Drian said the jihadists had now scattered, marking a "turning-point" in France's intervention.
His comments come as the French troops continue to secure Kidal, the last town occupied by militants.
