Two UN peacekeepers were shot dead and a third
slightly wounded by one of their colleagues in northern Mali, the UN
mission said on Sunday, less than three weeks after a similar incident."Yesterday [on Saturday] at around 19:00 GMT a tragic incident occurred in the Minusma camp at Tessalit, in the Kidal region in which a peacekeeper fired on three of his colleagues," a statement from the Minusma mission said, without giving the nationalities of the peacekeepers.
The suspect had been arrested and an investigation into the shooting was under way, the statement added.
Last month a soldier in the Chadian contingent of the force killed his own commander and an army doctor following weeks of tensions over living conditions.
The soldier had started an "insurrection" against the contingent's top brass the previous evening before shooting the two men dead on February 25.
