The United Nations is sending a team to investigate the alleged executions of nine civilians, including an aid worker, by soldiers after pro-government militiamen clashed with separatist rebels in the north-east, the UN mission in Mali said Friday, dpa reported. The Coordination of Movements for Azawad (CMA), an umbrella body of five northern separatist rebel groups, said the nine civilians were killed Thursday at a cattle market in Tin Hamma in the eastern region of Gao. -- SPA 22:24 LOCAL TIME 19:24 GMT تغريد
