Blast kills 3 UN peacekeepers in Mali
|
[PRESSTV] Three United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
soldiers were killed and two others maimed by an bomb as they were escorting a convoy in northern Mali on Thursday, the peacekeeping mission in the West African nation said.
More than 80 members of the UN mission, known as MINUSMA, have been killed since 2013 in attacks by bully boy groups active in the country's north and center.
The mission said in a statement that the peacekeepers' vehicle struck the bomb between the northern towns of Tessalit and Aguelhok around 2:30 p.m. (1430 GMT). It did not identify the nationalities of the soldiers involved.
"I condemn with the greatest energy such abject acts, whose only objective is to destabilize the country and harm the grinding of the peace processor underway in Mali," said interim mission chief Koen Davidse.
