A suicide bomber killed himself but caused no other casualties overnight Saturday in northern Mali when he targeted a French army position, Malian and French military officials said. "The suicide bomber targeted a French army position in the town of Menaka," a senior Malian army official told AFP when reached by telephone. "The French troops detected his presence and in the rush, the man set off his (explosive) belt, killing himself but causing no other casualties," he said while French military officials confirmed the events.
