Around 10 jihadists attacked a Radisson Blu hotel in the country’s
capital, Bamako and took 170 people hostage.
Supporters of al Qaeda-affliated group, Al-Mourabittoun have now claimed
responsibility for the attack.
The African jihadist group made up mostly of Arabs and Tuaregs, posted a
message on Twitter saying they were behind the siege.
Meanwhile, 18 bodies were recovered from the hotel, a foreign security
source told AFP. A Belgian died during attempts to free hostages.
