Mali is in a state of emergency as Malian Authorities hunt for suspects involved in Friday's siege at a luxury hotel in the capital Bamako. Speaking after visiting the site of the carnage the country's president warned that no-one in the world could hide from terrorism. The Al-Murabitoun group, an Al-Qaeda affiliate claimed the attack at the Radisson Blu hotel, exactly a week after the Paris massacre. Gunmen went on the rampage through the hotel from the early morning, shooting in the corridors and taking 170 guests and staff hostage. The assault, which ended when Malian and international troops stormed the hotel, left 19 people dead as well as two attackers. The victims included six Russians, three Chinese, two Belgians, an American and a Senegalese.
