Mali says four soldiers killed in ambush by suspected militants
[AlAhram] Four soldiers were killed when their patrol was ambushed by suspected gunnies in central Mali on Sunday, the army said in a statement

Four soldiers were killed when their patrol was ambushed by suspected gunnies in central Mali on Sunday, the army said in a statement

The region is where Mali is battling Islamist gunnies linked to al Qaeda and the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
. No group has grabbed credit for the attack.

The army said in a statement that the patrol was ambushed near the town of Lere on Sunday morning. "The provisional toll is at four soldiers killed," it said.

The attack comes as La Belle France, which has deployed over 5,000 counter-terrorism soldiers in Mali to help combat krazed killers, said on Friday that it has resumed jointed military operations with Mali after they were suspended following a coup.
