Mali's ruling military leaders have said in a message aired over state television said that they are in control of the state broadcaster building, the airport, and the military base in Kati near the capital Bamako after a counter-coup attempt.

"Elements from abroad, supported by some obscure forces within the country, carried out these attacks. Some of them have been arrested," a military officer said in a television message on Tuesday.

At least 14 people are said to have been killed during fighting in the capital Bamako.
