   BAMAKO - Twenty-five Malian soldiers have been killed and 60 are
   missing after suspected jihadists attacked two army camps in central
   Mali on Monday, the government said in a statement.

   The toll is among the highest suffered by Malian forces this year as
   they struggle to contain militant groups with links to al-Qaida or
   Islamic State that have set up operations in parts of Mali from where
   they launch attacks across the Sahel.
