At least 50 killed in April by Malian army, 'foreign troops' -U.N. report

DAKAR (Reuters) -At least 50 civilians were killed during a military operation conducted by Mali's army and "foreign troops" on April 19, the United Nations said in a report on Wednesday.

The U.N. has repeatedly accused Malian soldiers of summarily executing civilians and suspected militants over the course of their decade-long fight against groups linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State.
