Bamako (AFP) - Two suspected bombers were lynched and burned by a mob in northern Mali's largest town on Saturday, security sources told AFP.

"The two young people had planted bombs not far from the Gao river police. They were ready to set them off remotely when they were surprised by Gao residents who burned them," a security source in the city told AFP.
