Armed men seize north Mali army camps-govt sources
BAMAKO, May 23 (Reuters) - Armed men believed to be Tuareg rebels took over two army camps in remote northern Mali early on Tuesday, government military sources said.
The sources, who asked not to be identified, said the camps were attacked at Kidal in the desert zone where Tuareg warriors staged a revolt in the early 1990s. A subsequent peace deal ended the rebellion but sporadic unrest has continued.
There was no immediate information on casualties.
