| UN: 9 Peacekeepers Killed in Northern Mali |
| 2014-10-04 |
| [ABCNEWS.GO] Men on cycle of violences ambushed a convoy of U.N. peacekeepers in northern Mali on Friday, U.N. officials said, killing nine in the deadliest attack yet on the force. It was the latest in a string of deadly attacks on the peacekeeping force tasked with bringing stability to the West African country following a coup and jihadist offensive, in what has become one of the bloodiest U.N. missions. The convoy of troops from Niger included a fuel truck and may have been specifically targeted because of that, said U.N. front man Stephane Dujarric. |
