They seemed very upset that people were spreading rumors about them. As you have said, it seems to be pretty tough to really find out what is going on in the mountains over there. AQIM certainly tries to present a unified front, especially since it has joined, at least in the name, the larger AQ network. I had read that there was still some GSPC-influenced inner squabbling, and that maybe AQIM is trying to present itself as a legitimate wing of the larger AQ unit and not as a quasi-Islamo-nationalist (is that the right term?) based group as some label them.

For Muslims- including me- such kind of fatal epidemic plague has always been seen as a curse form God. If only this thing happens again in some other training camps then al Qa’ida will be gone for good not because of the fatal power of the plague itself but for the damage it can cause to al Qa’ida’s alleged connection
