Fighting Continues As Rebels Hit North Mali -- Al Jazeera
Seven people were killed in fighting between rebels and Malian and French forces in northern town of Gao.
Seven people were killed in a second day of fighting between rebels and Malian and French forces in the northern Malian town of Gao, authorities said.
The rebels attacked the north's largest town on Sunday just days after French President Francois Hollande said Mali's sovereignty had almost been restored.
Earlier, Mali's army repulsed an attack by a group of rebels who had slipped past army checkpoints to enter the northern town of Gao, a military official says.
The Malian army official said that government forces defeated the rebels on Saturday after more than two hours of intense fighting.
The clashes took place after Gao residents reported rebels had entered their neighbourhood.
