US special forces storm siege hotel and free 6 American hostages from jihadist gunmen who flee to roof

Armed jihadists killed at least three people in a deadly shooting rampage at the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali, which also saw 170 people taken hostage. Automatic weapons fire was heard throughout the seventh floor of the 190-room hotel, where it is thought as many as ten militants have been going floor to floor taking hostages. Three of them have been killed. More pics after the cut...

One hostage who escaped said the militants were speaking to each other in English. Another witness described how the gunmen allowed around 20 hostages to leave safely after they proved they were able to recite verses of the Koran.

US and French Special Forces stormed the hotel and began clearing the building one floor at a time. No group has claimed responsibility for the hotel attack, which is frequently used by Air France crew, although Al Qaeda affiliated militants have previously carried out attacks in Mali.

    1. Nigerian military is too proud to allow troops or special forces from other countries operate on its soil.

    2. Anon 8:52, they want but the whites refused to come, of course why should they, when we have full military here; besides their nationals are not the ones being killed here. In Mali, they responded to save their nationals.

      American special forces were deployed cos of their citizens,FIRSTLY!! THAT IS A SOLID MOTIVE & that's the first responsibility of a responsible govt!!! You think say na joke to go floor by floor to look for your citizens?
      You think their embassy wouldnt have tried to reach the US citizens holed up in there?
      Who even tell you say them no rescue africans sef from the narrative?
      You will also blame US when boko haram kills us- they have all the terrorists in the middle east trying to harm their own citizens worldwide ,yet you expect them to prioritize us, when your former military heads diverted your heavy defense budget & soldiers and innocent citizens die!

  24. Time to stop pretending.
    This is a religious war. The earlier Muslims and Christians call the war exactly what it is, the sooner the two religions will sit down and dialogue for peace.
