Mali President and PM Taken To Army Base

Soldiers took Mali’s interim president and prime minister to a military base outside of the capital Bamako on Monday, two officials in the unstable West African country said.

An official at the prime ministers’s office said President Bah Ndaw and Prime Minister Moctar Ouane had both been taken to the Kati military camp near the capital.

A senior member of the military junta, who declined to be named, confirmed the information.
