A few days ago, it was widely reported that Ayman al-Zawahri was calling for stepped up attacks in Darfur.

So, when new and unprecedented attacks happen in Darfur, why does the MSM and the U.N. ignore any mention of the possible al-Qaeda connection?

The African Union on Monday began probing an unprecedented attack on one of its bases in Sudan’s war-ravaged Darfur that left 10 peacekeepers dead and 40 missing, vowing to punish those responsible.
“The enquiry is underway and we will make its conclusions public. Those who carried out this attack will be strongly sanctioned,” African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) spokesman Noureddine Mezni told AFP.
The attack by a large, organised group of heavily armed men who overran southern Darfur’s Haskanita camp in 30 vehicles took place on Saturday night, the worst assault on the under-manned force since it deployed in July 2004.
The AU declined to speculate on who carried out the attack or elaborate on the nationalities of those killed, although Dakar said one of the dead was Senegalese.
The missing included 36 AU soldiers, three military observers and a police officer.
Seventeen other peacekeepers who were kidnapped in the raid were later discovered to the south of the base, Mezni said.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon condemned the killings and called on Darfur’s warring sides to recommit to a settlement, citing peace talks scheduled for Libya on October 27 and preparations for a joint deployment of AU-UN troops.
“The secretary general condemns in the strongest possible terms the recent attack on African Union peacekeepers in Haskanita, South Darfur and calls for the perpetrators to be held fully accountable for this outrageous act,” he said in a statement.
