Bamako, Shawwal 21, 1435, August 17, 2014, SPA -- Two United Nations peacekeepers were killed and seven wounded in a suicide attack in northern Mali on Saturday, which drew condemnation from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, dpa reported. "Such attacks will not deter the United Nations from its efforts to support the Malian people in their search for peace in their country," Ban said. The suicide bomber drover a pick-up truck packed with explosives into a UN camp in Ber, 50 kilometres east of Timbuktu in northern Mali. All the casualties were soldiers from Burkina Faso. Two soldiers with serious injuries were flown to the Senegalese capital, Dakar, for treatment. --SPA 10:51 LOCAL TIME 07:51 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
