US Secretary of State John Kerry denounced on Saturday a "horrific and cowardly" attack on a nightclub in the Mali capital Bamako that left at least five people dead.
"These horrific and cowardly attacks, these acts of terrorism... an act of opening fire on a restaurant filled with innocent civilians, only strengthens our resolve to fight terrorism in all its forms wherever it lives," said Kerry following a meeting with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius in Paris.
