Unidentified gunmen killed one person and wounded at least two others late on Wednesday in an attack on a hotel in the central Mali town of Bandiagara regularly frequented by United Nations staff and humanitarian workers, two witnesses said, Reuters reported.
Five men approached the entrance to the Hotel la Falaise on foot at around 9.30 p.m. (2130 GMT) and opened fire. At least three people - a soldier guarding the entrance and two hotel workers - were struck by bullets. The soldier later died, the witnesses said.
