Suicide Vehicle Targeted Assimi Goïta’s Residence, Army Says
Troops launched a “vigorous response” to contain the threat and disarm the vehicle, Djibrila Maïga, Deputy Director of Public Relations for the army, said during a press briefing on the security situation following the April 25 terrorist attacks.
Another suicide vehicle was intended for the residence of Minister Sadio Camara, according to the military official.
According to Maïga, the attackers had several suicide vehicles at their disposal and may have received support from both inside and outside the country. The scale of the attack and the methods used suggested external and internal reinforcement for the terrorists, he noted.
Several terrorists were neutralized, while vehicles and motorcycles were recovered during the operations, the army further reported.
