Bangladeshi peacekeepers unhurt in Mali camp attack
Rebels attacked a camp of UN peacekeepers in Mali yesterday.
Four peacekeepers from Guinea were killed in the hour-long mortar attack on the camp in Kidal.
All Bangladeshi peacekeepers, however, are unhurt, according to a press release of the Inter Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR).
The camp sustained significant damage in the attack, it said.
Bangladesh Army Chief General Abu Belal Muhammad Shafiul Huq, who is now in the West African country, would visit the camp today, the ISPR press release added.
The UN is trying to restore peace in Mali's north, which was overrun in 2012 by jihadists and ethnic Tuareg groups, reports BBC.
