Gunfire rocks Bamako: 'Too soon to tell' if junta will fall
Mali's army said Saturday that it was fighting "terrorist groups" that had attacked army barracks in the capital Bamako and other areas in the African nation.
Witnesses reported gunfire in several cities in the military-ruled state and an army statement said: "Terrorist groups, not yet identified, early this morning targeted certain points and barracks in the capital and the interior." FRANCE 24's Wassim Nasr said it is still "too soon to tell" if the country's military junta will fall.
