A suicide car bombing in Kidal killed two Senegalese members of the UN peacekeeping force and destroyed the only operating bank in the town. Several other people were seriously injured, and more casualties are feared from the collapse of the bank building. In the town of Teringuite, at least 80 militants from the al Qaeda-linked Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO) led by commander Abou Dardar attacked a Tuareg camp and killed two people.
