A Malian court on Wednesday sentenced to death two men found guilty of killing more than two dozen people in attacks targeting foreigners in 2015.

Fawaz Ould Ahmed and his co-defendant Sadou Chaka were convicted after two days of hearings.

“The court finds you guilty of the facts you are accused of and does not grant you any mitigating circumstances,” said the head of the Bamako Criminal Court, Souley Maiga.

Ould Ahmed confessed to attacking a club in the capital Bamako in 2015, killing five people, in revenge for cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad published by France’s Charlie Hebdo magazine.

“We are the ones who carried it out: Al-Mourabitoune,” said Ould Ahmed, who is also known as “Ibrahim 10”, referring to a prominent armed group in the Sahel.

Ould Ahmed and two other men, Malian nationals Sadou Chaka and Abdoulbaki Abdramane Maiga, were charged both for the La Terrasse club attack and for another assault in November 2015, when gunmen took guests and staff hostage at the luxurious Radisson Blu hotel. 

The siege left 20 people dead, including 14 foreigners.

Ould Ahmed told the presiding judge that he felt no remorse for the deadly violence.

The trial was a rare event in Mali, where years of conflict and political instability has weakend criminal justice systems and institutions. 

Ould Ahmed was arrested by police in 2016 in Bamako while planning other attacks.

Mali is currently caught in the middle of a militant insurgency in its central and northern regions which has killed and displaced thousands.

TT ace cyclist Nicholas Paul copped his second medal at the 2023 Pan Am Games in Santiago, Chile on Friday as he rode his way to silver in the final of the men's keirin event.

Paul, who won gold in the men's sprint event at the Velodromo Penalolen on Thursday, used his electric sprint speed in the final lap to power himself to second place, after falling behind the pack with a couple of laps remaining in the six-lap event. The keirin final was won by Colombia's Kevin Quintero - the world champion in the event. Mexico's Juan Ruiz Teran finished in third spot.

Earlier in heat two of the keirin event, Paul qualified for the final after finishing third behind Brazil's Joao Da Silva and his training partner Jair Tjon En Fa of Suriname.

On Thursday, Paul won TT's first gold medal at the 2023 games as he powered his way to the men's sprint title - defeating Tjon En Fa comfortably in back-to-back rides. On Wednesday, the 25-year-old Paul shattered the Pan Am Games record with a blistering time of 9.574 seconds in the men's sprint qualification race.

Paul's silver medal is TT's third medal at the ongoing Pan Am Games. TT's 3x3 men's basketball team earned a bronze medal in stunning fashion on Monday as they edged Venezuela by a 21-20 margin in their third-place match at the Estadio Espanol.
