The US was anticipating that it might have to move into North Africa to go after Al Qaeda in the region as the Obama administration wants to make sure the global terror network has no place to hide, Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said today.        

"We have gone after the core leadership of Al-Qaeda in the Fatah in Afghanistan. We have gone after them in Yemen. We have gone after them successfully in Somali. We were always aware there was AQIM (Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb) in North Africa," Panetta told CNN.
