I can't say that I'm surprised by this development. The article in al-Arabiya states that al-Qaeda is seeking to smuggle this weaponry from Libya to northern Mali, which likely means that at some point Algeria, a country with its own Muslim radicals, is apt to be crossed (a cursory glance at the map of Africa should make that obvious). And the Algerian authorities, I submit, are not wrong to have concerns about what is going on to their east in both Libya and Egypt.
