Oumar Traore, chief of staff for Colonel Assimi Goita, the transitional president, was among several people who died in an ambush on Tuesday near the Mauritanian border, according to a document from the Malian presidency.
On Friday, Jama'at Nasr al Islam wal Muslimin [JNIM] claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it had killed Traore and two members of the army, according to a statement reported by SITE, which monitors militants websites. The group also claimed to have taken two hostages. Mali has been battling a security and political crisis since militant and separatist insurgencies broke out in the north in 2012.
