It isn't clear whether India was the final destination for the cocaine, worth as much as $14 million, or whether it was a transit point for other markets in Asia and Europe.

| Mali makes arrests linked to Islamist attacks - sources |
|
| The Malian army captured two people linked to Islamist group Ansar Dine and seized evidence linking them to planned attacks, security sources said on Saturday. Ansar Dine was part of an alliance of Islamist fighters that helped seize Mali's desert north after a Tuareg uprising in 2012 but was ousted by a French military operation a year later. The group this week claimed responsibility for a series of recent attacks across Mali's south and west, including the capital Bamako, formerly deemed safe. |
