Major jihadist attack in Mali’s capital killed more than 70, security source says

A major attack by an al Qaeda-linked group on a military police training camp and nearby airport complex in Bamako earlier this week killed more than 70 people and wounded more than 200, a Malian security source said Thursday. News from the West African nation has been restricted since a junta takeover, but the scale of the attack raises questions about the security strategy of Mali’s transitoinal authorities.
