BAMAKO—Al Qaeda-linked Islamist extremists rocketed French military bases in Kidal, Menaka, and Gao in northern Mali within the space of a few hours on Monday morning, a rare sign of coordinated raids on international forces. The camps were hit by “indirect fire”, although no deaths or injuries were reported, said Thomas Romiguier, a spokesman for French forces, who have more than 5,100 personnel spread across the region. The only damage was to a United Nations base in Kidal, which is next to the French base, Romiguier said. The head of the U.N. mission condemned the attacks. In statement on Al Thabat, an affiliated media outfit, Al Qaeda said: “The rocket attacks of the mujahideen, in support of Islam and Muslims, targeted the bases of the French infidel army.”
