Mali Attack: ‘No More Hostages’ After Special Forces Storm Radisson Blu To End Siege, But 27 Confirmed Dead
Some 27 people were killed after security services ended a siege in a hotel in the capital of Mali on Friday. Special Forces raided the building after suspected Islamist gunmen stormed the Radisson Blu Hotel in Bamako at around 7am in the morning. Some of the attackers may still be holed up within the hotel, the Washington Post reported, but they do not hold any hostages. The gunmen reportedly entered the hotel shouting "God is great!" in Arabic, and shooting indiscriminately. At least three people were confirmed dead earlier, and 170 were taken hostage. According
