		</div><p>An attack on a United Nations base in northern Mali has left at least three people dead, including two peace-keepers and a contractor.</p>
<p>The attack on the base in Kidal also injured 20 people, of which four are in a serious condition.</p>
<p>It is not known who was behind the attack but Islamic extremists are suspected.</p>
<p>Mongi Hamdi, the head of the UN mission and the special representative for the secretary-general in Mali, said: “I want to reiterate that these attacks will not impede the determination of the United Nations to support the Malian people and the peace process.</p>
<p>“I express my solidarity and salute the brave men and women serving (the UN mission) throughout the country for their efforts to bringing lasting peace to Mali in these difficult conditions.”</p>
<p>Northern Mali has been unstable since it fell to Tuareg separatists and Islamic extremists following a military coup in 2012. Despite the presence of French troops and the UN force, the extremists have continued attacks in the north.</p>
<p>Extremists have also extended attacks to the south this year, including an assault on a Bamako restaurant popular with foreigners in March and an attack earlier this month on a luxury hotel in the capital.</p>
<p>Malian authorities have arrested two men over the attack at the Radisson Blu hotel that killed 20 people. There are competing claims of responsibility by extremist groups for that attack.</p>
