A document found in bombed Islamist headquarters in Timbuktu shows a plan by al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to muscle in on efforts of other Islamist groups in Mali. French troops recovered a cache of some 1,700 pounds of explosive materials from a house in Gao, raising fears of more bombings by Islamist militants; a stash of NITRAM 5 explosives was found last week.
