My Way News - Gunmen attack hotel in Mali's capital, killing at least 20:
My Way News reports: "Heavily armed Islamic extremists seized dozens of hostages Friday at a
Radisson hotel, but Malian troops, backed by U.S. and French special
forces, swarmed in to retake the building and free many of the terrified
captives. At least 20 people, including one American, were killed along
with two gunmen during the more than seven-hour siege, a Malian
military commander said.
An extremist group led by former al-Qaida commander Moktar Belmoktar
claimed responsibility for the attack in the former French colony, and
many in France saw it as a new assault on their country's interests a
week after the Paris attacks."
