A corpse is seen outside the Radisson hotel in Bamako, Mali, November 20, 2015. Around 27 people were reported dead on Friday after Malian commandos stormed a hotel seized by Islamist gunmen to rescue 170 people, many of them foreigners, trapped in the building. The jihadist group Al Mourabitoun, allied to al Qaeda and based in the desert north of the former French colony, claimed responsibility for the attack. Mali has been battling Islamist rebels for years. A security source said the drama was over by early evening and two militants were dead. (Photo by Joe Penney/Reuters)
