Al Qaeda-affiliate Jama’at Nasr Al-Islam has claimed responsibility for February 24 suicide attack on European Union Training Mission in Mali.

Gunmen had attacked the Koulikoro Training Centre (KTC) in Mali by a pair of suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.

The attackers used two explosives-packed vehicles, and some armed men functioning as a breaching team. The Jama’at Nasr Al-Islam attackers opened fire and sought to break the main gate of the KTC. They, however, were interrupted by force protection elements.

The EUTM Mali tweeted: “Koulikoro Training Center was attacked by unknown elements. It was repulsed by defensive shares of Malian Armed Forces and EUTM Mali Force Protection Elements.”
