Suicide attack on pro-govt militia camp in Mali kills 37

A suicide bomb attack on a camp housing former rebels and pro-government militia in northern Mali today killed 37 fighters, a UN peacekeeping source and a local official said.
The camp is located in Gao, the main city in northern Mali, once the cradle of rebel uprisings and a sanctuary for Islamist fighters.
In 2015, after a French-led international intervention, the rebel alliance signed a peace deal with the government and loyalist militias.
