Travel warning issued to Israelis in countries south of Sahara

The Counter-Terrorism Bureau issued a travel warning to Israelis in countries south of the Sahara, including the Ivory Coast, Togo, Burkina-Faso, Mali, and northern Nigeria. This comes on the backdrop of a strengthening al-Qaeda presence in the Maghreb and on information received that terrorist organizations are seeking to kidnap Israelis in the region. (Ynet)
