2 UN Troops killed in Mali training accident
Bamako - Arab Today
Two Dutch UN peacekeepers were accidently killed and one seriously wounded in an explosion in northwest Mali during a training exercise, the Dutch defence ministry said.
"During the accident, two of our men lost their lives," said The Netherlands' Vice Chief of Defence, Vice Admiral Rob Bauer.
"Another 23-year-old soldier was seriously wounded," Bauer told reporters in The Hague at a hastily-convened press conference after the incident in the Malian town of Kidal.
The injured man was operated on in a field hospital and then taken to a military hospital in northern Gao.
Officials with the UN mission in Mali said in a statement that "an accidental explosion of a shell caused the deaths of two MINUSMA peacekeepers during a training exercise" in Kidal.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
