Malian authorities were on Friday searching for possible accomplices in what they say is a foreign government-backed plot to destabilise the country. This follows the arrest of a French national suspected of working for French intelligence services along with several Malian soldiers.
In a statement read on national television, Security Minister General Daoud Aly Mohammedine announced the arrests of what he described as a small group of marginal members of the Malian armed forces for criminal offences.
