{United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has strongly condemned a deadly terrorist attack on a UN peacekeeping camp outside a desert town in northern Mali, saying that “the killing of UN peacekeepers and civilian Malians is intolerable and a breach of international humanitarian law”.}<\/p>\n
“The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest terms today’s attack in Mali that killed two Malian children and a Chadian UN peacekeeper and injured 11 peacekeepers and three civilians,” said a statement issued here on Sunday night by Ban’s spokesman.<\/p>\n
The deadly mortar and rocket fire on a camp of the UN Multinational Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) in Kidal, a desert town in northern Mali, resulted in at least four shells landing inside the camp and on a civilian dwelling outside the camp.<\/p>\n
The attack near Kidal came just a day after another attack on a restaurant in Bamako, the capital of Mali, which killed five people, including a French citizen and a Belgian security officer with the European Union (EU) Delegation in Mali. — NNN-XINHUA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
