UN peacekeeper shoots dead 2 colleagues in northern Mali

The UN peacekeeping mission in Mali says a peacekeeper has shot dead two colleagues in what has been called a "settling of scores."
A statement from the mission today says the suspect was immediately detained after the shooting yesterday at the UN base in Kidal in northern Mali. An investigation is under way.
A peacekeeping official says the Chadian peacekeeper shot a commander and doctor. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorised to speak publicly.
It was not clear what caused the shooting.
Mission spokesman Olivier Salgado says operations at the base have returned to normal.

The UN mission in Mali has been one of the world body's deadliest peacekeeping missions.
