...northern sections of Mauritania, Mali and Niger. The French official says around 150 fighters traveling in four-wheel trucks move about freely in the region, running munitions and materials, training new recruits, and abducting and holding any kidnap victims. Indeed, officials are virtually certain AQIM has transported Kloiber and Ebner to northern Mali or southern Algeria, the same area where the GSPC kept 31 captured European tourists hidden in 2003 until Germany allegedly paid a ransom). But because AQIM action is driven in part by the need for ransom payments, French officials hope these terrorists are less prone to committing...

...also take steps to break up bullying groups or keep bullies after school. If the bullying is about a specific issue (such as divorce, disfigurement or illness), teachers can launch an education program on the issue. But many experts believe governments must ultimately get involved. Says ex-teacher Ebner: "The question [for politicians] is: Are you going to sit back and breed the future generation of head cases?"
