Reports of civilian casualties in Mali, Amnesty International calling for probe

The organization quoted relatives of Aminata Maiga, 40, as saying the woman and her children, Ali, 11, Adama, 10 and Zeinabour, 6, had been killed when rockets fired from a helicopter struck her house and an adjacent mosque.

Human Rights Watch said Thursday that there had been very serious violations by all sides and voiced fear that reprisal killings would continue as the rebel groups are pushed out of urban centers in the north of the country.
The European Union has called for the swift deployment of international observers to monitor the rights situation in Mali.
