Explosion Claim Lives in Mali

At least three United Nation peacekeepers have been killed and five others seriously wounded by an improvised explosive device in central Mali.

UN mission revealed that one of its convoy had been targeted, adding that it is one of UN’s more dangerous deployments,.

Separatists and Islamist militants launch frequent attacks in north and central Mali despite the presence of the UN and, until last year, a French peacekeeping force that was asked to leave the country by the new military government.
