Rebels attack Mali military base

2008-07-19 19:38

Bamako - Authorities in northern Mali are searching for assailants who attacked a military base overnight, wounding two paramilitary police in a gunbattle and kidnapping three others.

Army Colonel Abdoulaye Coulibaly said in a statement on Saturday that the half-hour attack took place in the northern town of Tessalit about 15:00. He said the gunmen also burned a paramilitary police vehicle before fleeing.

Ethnic Tuareg rebels in the area said they were fighting to demand more help for the Tuareg minority in this West African nation.
