"The public prosecutor at the Military Court of Bamako said there was 'solid evidence regarding the complicity of certain military personnel' in the attacks, including serving and recently dismissed officers."
"'The first arrests have been successfully carried out and all other perpetrators, co-perpetrators, and accomplices are actively being sought,' the statement continued."
"On Friday, the Tuareg rebels said they had captured a strategic military camp in the northern town of Tessalit after the withdrawal of Mali's army and its Russian mercenary allies from the base."
Mali is probing several soldiers for their alleged involvement in coordinated attacks by jihadi and separatist fighters. The attacks, launched by a rebel alliance on April 25, resulted in multiple casualties, including the Defense Minister. The public prosecutor indicated solid evidence of military personnel's complicity in planning and executing the assaults. Among those implicated are active duty soldiers and a dismissed officer. The Tuareg rebels have also captured a military camp in Tessalit, following the withdrawal of Mali's army and Russian mercenaries.
