White House condemns terrorist attack in Mali

The White House says it condemns the attack on the Radisson Blu hotel that killed at least 27 people and offered to help the Malian government as it investigates the "tragic terrorist attack."

"The United States condemns in the strongest terms today's terrorist attack on the many Malian and international guests and employees of the Radisson Blu Hotel in Bamako," National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said. ''We can confirm that the attack has ended, and we continue to coordinate with US officials on the ground to verify the location of all American citizens in Mali."
