Bamako (AFP) - At least two Malian soldiers were killed Friday in a jihadist attack on the town of Tenenkou in central Mali.
"Several people from both sides" may have died in the clash between troops and Islamist fighters in the town 470 kilometres (292 miles) north of the capital Bamako, a UN military source told AFP.
