Five U.N. peackeepers killed by truck bomb, mortar fire in Mali
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Five U.N. peackeepers killed by truck bomb, mortar fire in Mali | 12 Feb 2016 | Five U.N. peacekeepers were killed when their base in northern Mali was hit by mortars, gunfire and a truck bomb on Friday, an attack that a local separatist group blamed on Islamist militants. At least 30 people were wounded in the attack in Kidal, a town in an unstable desert region that is home to Islamist groups including al Qaeda [al-CIAduh] in the Islamic Maghreb which have staged increasingly bold raids in recent months and have targeted the U.N. base several times. “At about 7 a.m. (0700 GMT) the MINUSMA base in Kidal was the target of a complex attack,” said Mahamat Saleh Annadif, the Mali representative of the U.N. secretary general, referring to the peacekeeping mission.
