Today we're looking at the coordinated attacks in Mali over the weekend and the response from the Russian African Corps. Right now it appears the fighting is ongoing with the rebel groups (one of them AQ affiliated) offering safe passage to Russia if they leave the country. Right now the defense minister is confirmed killed and the president has not been seen or heard from since the attacks began.
