Mali hotel gunmen holding no more hostages: security minister

Gunmen who stormed a luxury hotel in Mali's capital today and seized more than 100 guests and staff no longer have any hostages after a rescue operation by special forces, the government said.

"They currently have no more hostages in their hands and forces are in the process of tracking them down," security minister Salif Traore told a news conference following a stand-off of several hours at Bamako's Radisson Blu.
