BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau (AP) - Two Mauritanians suspected of involvement in the killings of four French tourists were arrested Friday and officials said they are believed to belong to an Algerian-based terror cell affiliated with al-Qaida.
The two suspects, both in their 20s, have confessed to participating in the Christmas Eve attack, said Lucinda Barbosa, director of judicial police in the tiny West African nation of Guinea-Bissau.
The country is more than 400 miles south of where the tourists were shot while picnicking outside the Mauritanian town of Aleg.
