Al Qaeda Giving up on AQIM for LIFG?

Al Qaeda, which must surly be frustrated with the failure of AQIM to acheive any real objectives. It seems to be courting al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya al-Muqatila (The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, or LIFG) to take over its North-West Africa Campaign. Are Both of these Groups going to fight like brothers to see which is their Father's favorite? This may be exactly what al-Zawahiri, Abu Laith al-Libi have in mind....
