2 terrorists holding 170 guests hostage in Bamako hotel in Mali
Gunmen launched a shooting rampage in the Radisson Blu hotel in the centre of the Malian capital Bamako on Friday, security sources and an AFP journalist said.
Automatic weapons fire could be heard from outside the 190-room hotel, where security forces have set up a security cordon.
“It’s all happening on the seventh floor, jihadists are firing in the corridor,” a security source told AFP.
The shooting follows a nearly 24-hour siege and hostage-taking at another hotel in August in the central Malian town of Sevare.
Four soldiers, five U.N. workers and four attackers were killed.
