"Gunmen on Monday attacked a hotel in Mali's capital, Bamako, that had been converted into the
headquarters of a European Union military training operation, but there no casualties among the mission's personnel.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which began at around 6:30 p.m. local time (1830 GMT), but Mali and neighboring West African countries have increasingly been the target of Islamist militants, some of them affiliated with al Qaeda.
One of the assailants was killed and two suspects were arrested and were being interrogated, the country's internal security minister said." Reuters
