Two suspects, who were arrested for the attack on a hotel in Mali's capital Bamako, have been identified, a statement from the country's intelligence agency said on Friday.
They have been named as Seidou Diepkile and Adama Maiga and were caught in a Bamako suburb last Friday, Xinhua quoted the statement as saying, without providing any other details.
