France says kills more than 20 militants in Mali

More than 20 Islamist rebels were killed during a raid by French Special Forces and Malian troops in the Adrar des Ifoghas mountain range of Mali, the defense ministry said on Tuesday.                              

The raid, during which one French legionnaire was killed, aimed at disrupting "terrorist" groups and dismantling their camps in an area where militants are believed to have taken refuge, the ministry said.                     

Earlier, French President Francois Hollande said that a French soldier has been killed while fighting Islamist rebels in northern Mali.               

"A legionnaire from the 22nd parachute regiment has died in a clash with Islamists in northern Mali," Hollande told reporters on a visit to Athens.
