(Gao) A car bomb was rammed
into a French military convoy consisting of 2 vehicles carrying 30 soldiers
belonging to the French counter-terror force Barkhane in the northern Malian
city of Gao, killing at least four people, (2 French soldiers and 2 civilians.)
The detonation of the VIED was followed by a sustained gun attack by Islamic
terrorists. Both French military vehicles were destroyed.
This attack comes just 2 days after a suicide attack on the Mali headquarters of a regional Sahel force known as G5 killed two soldiers and a civilian.
