AN Islamist group in northern Mali says it is suspending its pledge to halt hostilities less than a month after it agreed to do so.

The group Ansar Dine says negotiations with the Malian government are ultimately aimed at a military intervention to oust the group from the West African country and are not true peace talks.

Still, the group said it remains committed to a dialogue with the Malian government in Bamako even though it is keeping its military options open.

Ansar Dine, which says it seeks autonomy for northern Mali, has been behind public executions, amputations and whippings in the area that it seized last year.
