Two UN peacekeepers from Senegal were killed on Saturday in a car bombing in north-eastern Mali, the Defence Ministry said in the capital Bamako, according to dpa. Four Malian soldiers were seriously wounded when the car bomb went off in front of a bank in the city of Kidal. The soldiers were guarding the bank, which was destroyed in the attack. The Tuareg separatist National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad (MNLA) is suspected of carrying out the bombing, which was the third attack on the bank. The rebel movement has been in control of the city for most of the year. In New York UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the bombing in the strongest terms, according to a spokesman. The people responsible for the attack must be brought to justice, the spokesman quoted Ban as saying.
