EXCLUSIVE IMAGES A still from a video shows civilians riding on a 4x4 car shouting "Allah Akhbar" in the streets of Gao on June 27, 2012. Algerian jihadists arrived in Gao on June 29, 2012 to reinforce Islamist fighters in the northern Mali city after they chased Tuareg rebels from the town they had jointly occupied for three months, sources said. The Islamist group which drove out the Tuareg in fighting that caused 20 deaths, the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), along with AQIM and Ansar Dine (Defenders of Faith) have taken firm control of Mali's vast north. Ansar Dine leader Iyad Ag Ghaly arrived in the town on June 28, after the fighting a day earlier erupted between the Tuareg and Islamists resulted in the desert nomads being dislodged from all key positions in the city.
