How to use maghreb in a sentence?

1. Tunisian Interior Minister Najem Gharsalli:

   This cell is linked to Okba Ibn Nafaa and Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, most of them came originally from Ansar al Sharia, it is a group of 23 people, including two Moroccans and an Algerian, but 80 percent of them are already arrested.

2. Christopher Chivvis:

   It appears likely that this was an attack by the Islamic State, but we have to remember that there are also other possibilities, it could have been Ansar al Shariah in Tunisia, which is a local group. It could have been al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

3. Peter Bergen:

   George W. Bush called 9/11 an act of war and as a result conducted an actual war or two, so given France's quite aggressive campaign in Mali against al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and given the fact that France was one of the leaders of the coalition to overthrow (the late Moammar) Gadhafi in Libya, it seems quite likely that France will respond aggressively.

4. Christopher Chivvis:

   It appears likely that this was an attack by the Islamic State but we have to remember that there are also other possibilities, it could have been Ansar al Shariah in Tunisia, which is a local group. It could have been al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

5. Marcus Hicks:

   What concerns me most specifically is al Qaeda, because I believe that al Qaeda-associated threats here, so al Shabaab and JNIM and the other offshoots of formerly known as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, are taking direction from al Qaeda core and are sort of walking through the al Qaeda playbook to develop clandestine infrastructure, and I think they have a disciplined, patient approach to building a base that will allow them to form a caliphate when the time is right.
