Malian President Amadou Toumani Toure was in good health and in a safe location after a coup that took over his power earlier Thursday, a source of the presidential guard told Xinhua.
The elements of the National Committee for Redressment of Democracy and Restoration of the State (CNRDR) entered the presidential palace at 9:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday, when President Toure had long ago left the compound accompanied by his body guard for an unknown destination, the source said.
The clash killed a member of the presidential guard and a CNRDR soldier, the source said, deploring both deaths. |
