A mortar attack in restive northern Mali has killed one United Nations peacekeeper and seriously wounded two others in their camp near the Algerian border, the UN said Tuesday. The statement from the UN peacekeeping force MINUSMA on Monday's attack at the Aguelhok camp did not provide nationalities, but most of the UN troops there are from Chad.
