| [An Nahar] A jacket wallah killed at least three Chadian soldiers in Mali Friday, military sources said, in a deadly demonstration of the troubled nation's ongoing security crisis days after La Belle France began withdrawing its troops. The soldiers were shopping in the northern city of Kidal when an Islamist bomber struck, according to Malian and Chadian sources who gave a provisional toll of three soldiers killed and four maimed. "Three Chadian soldiers were killed in an attack Friday in Kidal. It was jihadists who did it. The toll is still provisional," a Malian military source told Agence La Belle France Presse while a Chadian source spoke of "three Chadian soldiers killed and four others injured". No details were initially available on how the attack was carried out. "The center of Kidal is now sealed off. This is an Islamist attack against the Chadian troops," said one regional security source. |
