Jamie mcintire, al jazeera, washington. The u. S. Appears to be expanding an airstrip in northeastern syria. Thats what satellite images seem to show. The expansion would make the runway usable for larger transport aircraft including the c130 hercules cargo plane. The u. S. Has not denied the report but has said u. S. Forces have not taken control of the air field. Central command has revealed that dying in iraq and syria, not everyone agrees with the number. Rosiland jordan reports from washington. Back in august 2014, 16 civilians have been killed in those strikes, nine more have been injured. Thats a far cry from the estimate from a number of antiwar groups which say that as many as 2400 civilians may have been killed in those air strikes during the same period in both countries. Now, the u. S. Military says that it has a very low incident rate when it comes to killing or injuring civilians in this conflict, because of the use of precision guided munitions. However, the activist groups say that they are not certain that these strikes were as nonlethal as the u. S. Military is suggest that they were. By contrast there are estimates that russian air strikes which started just in september of this past year may have killed more than a thousand civilians inside syria alone. As for killing the number of i. S. I. L. Fighters, which was the overwhelm purpose of the coalitiowhole purpose of the con air strikes, the estimates is in the thousand for those fighting on behalf of i. S. I. L, whereas the russians conducting air strikes only in syria more than 1100 of the People Killed may have been fighting on behalf of the Syrian Opposition or socalled islamist groups, only around 900 appear to be i. S. I. L. Fighters. All of this suggests that in the middle of war it seems no one is safe. Rosiland jordan, reporting from washington.

Four members of the public were killed in the days attack. Just five months earlier sunachem had been released from prison where he was serving a term. When he came out of prison we offered him to live here although our house is very small. We tried hard to give him a new place. We even built a temporary small house for him but he refused. So even if we would have been angry at him, if we would have tied him to a pole he probably would still have done the same thing. Sunachem last visited his family just ten days before the attack. During his years in prison he failed to take part in the government deradicallism program. Shows the failure of indonesias system, and the failure to rehabilitate those convicted of terrorism. Authorities admit they lose track of prisoners after they are released. 130 prisoners jailed for such offenses have been released.

Its recently stepped up its operations in mali and beyond. Aqims rank has disciplined factors. Mucmukmoktar bell mokta rrchl a, the malian hold killing 28 people. Neighboring burkina faso, attack on a luxury hotel and a cafe. Most of the victims were foreigners. Al qaeda in the islamic maghreb has shown its ability to carry out attacks that are planned and carried out across borders borders. People living in settlements along the border are now living in fear after a number of cross border attacks by the group. Facing a common group, the governments of mali and burkina faso have agreed to work together. Translator what we are forced to do now is to coordinate our antiterror measures Exchange Intelligence and strengthen border security. That requires Close Military and strategic cooperation. Analysts doubt that mali and burkina faso can effectively tackle al qaeda militarily. Translator mali and burkina faso are facing numerous challenges. Their militaries are not well trained or equipped. And so once again the two nations will be depending on the military might of france, thus colonial ruler to sustain the threat from armed groups. Mohammad adow, al jazeera, on the Maliburkina Faso border. Joinings us from watertown massachusetts, good to see you as always. In light of the attacks in malfication and burkina faso do we have a sense how strong al qaeda in the islamic maghreb is . While originating in algeria it is said to have a presence all over the west african interior. Thats a good question antonio mora. Al qaeda in the islamic maghreb was backtrack so the thought was among security analysts that they were on their heels. This comes as a surprise both because its the first ever attack in burkina faso and because really, since 2014 we have not heard much from al qaeda in the islamic maghreb and this is an attempt for them to one, reassert their presence and their agenda but to also als coe with i. S. I. S. Or i. S. I. L. There are reports it is the richest al qaeda affiliate because of ransom money its been getting from kidnapping westerners. How great are its financing . All the group have strong ambitions, unfortunately, the opportunities are greater there in the mahgreb and west african burkina faso being on the border of mali, where they previously staged the attack in mali at the mall, what was suggested in your last report, burkina faso is a country coming out of a very difficult transition. Having a leader, a dictator for 27 years, finally are you know get rid of him to have a president thats installed only three weeks ago, a government installed only three days ago. And then having to deal with something. So its not as if this is a strong government, sovereign government with a Strong Police and army that is able to defend against this. On top of the fact that these folks as weve seen elsewhere go after soft targets. Theyre not going after the government. Theyre going after tourists and ex patriots which makes it all the more difficult challenge. And theres been upheaval especially in mali in the northwest part in recent years. I dont see that these folks have any either the ambition or the capability for force projection across a continent. Now, of course, the continent theyre closest too is europe and its conceivable that they may try to cross into spain or france but certainly not the United States. And so its al qaeda but its not the al qaeda we know from 9 11, right . Al qaeda whose real focus was to hurt the u. S. Home land. These are really folks who are local who have sort of affiliated and pledged allegiance to al qaeda but not part of a Central Organization that would coordinate attacks across the United States. Boko haram, quaip quaip, qu e arabian peninsula. Whether you are talking about syria, thorn and western africa, youre a member of one group today, bun group tomorrow, within the al qaeda in the islamic maghreb you have had subfactions who have broken away, others that have stayed with al qaeda. Its much more loose and diffuse than is typically the case when you think of warfare. Do you think that al qaeda affiliates are going to get stronger, is there a danger that the west could be taking its eye off the al qaeda ball because of i. S. I. L . Good question, first answer is i dont know, number 2, its worth considering. What bothers me most, al qaeda which has taken its lumps, particularly the centralized leadership of obviously bin laden, now zakari, they face their internal competitor, i. S. I. L. Or i. S. I. S. Is trying to claim the mantle of leadership. All the foreign money coming in. They are going to feel compelled to compete with them and thats a worrisome thing. Jim walsh from m. I.
