BAMAKO (Reuters) -Mali's security situation remained unclear on Wednesday after insurgents attacked an elite police training academy and other strategic areas on Tuesday, killing trainees, overrunning part of the airport and setting the presidential jet alight.
Analysts and diplomats described the attack as a major blow to the junta and regional bloc ECOWAS and the European Union issued statements condemning it.
