Last month’s coordinated attacks against Mali targeted the country’s leader Assimi Goita, an army spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Reviewing the events at a press conference, the spokesperson condemned the attack as a destabilisation operation and said the insurgents deployed two suicide car bombs intended for top officials.
“This sinister and meticulously orchestrated plan aimed to assassinate our leaders,” Commander Djibrila Maiga, Deputy Director of Public Relations for the Armed Forces told reporters.
“This is why the terrorists had several suicide vehicles at their disposal, the second of which was intended for the residence of the Head of State, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, General Assimi Goita.”
