On January 16th it did just that, when jihadists acting in sympathy for their Malian brethren stormed a gasfield facility in remotest southern Algeria, which abuts Mali, and took hostage scores of Algerians and as many as 40 foreign workers from countries including America, Britain, France and Japan. This has concentrated minds on the Saharan region, where a jihadist menace has been growing. The attack in Algeria is actually a response to bold action by France. In Mali bad blood has been curdling since al-Qaeda-linked insurgents took over the northern half of the country nearly a year ago. The United States and Britain are rightly giving the French logistical and intelligence support. Even before the latest hostage-taking outrage, the co-operation of Algeria, Mali's strongest neighbour to the north, which has had much bloody experience of beating back its own variant of al-Qaeda, had become vital.
