STORYLINE:
Jihadi rebels have attacked Mali's Kati military base on the outskirts of the capital city Bamako, the ruling junta confirmed Friday.
It's the first time Kati, Mali's largest military base, has been hit by extremist rebels in their more than 10-year insurgency in the West African country.
Soldiers on trucks were seen leaving the police station in Kati, guarding suspected militants caught by the local population.
"There are two suspects in the pick-up (truck), one of them had a gun with magazines and the second had other people's ID cards on him," said Cheikh Coulibaly, a resident of Kati.
Two vehicles loaded with explosives detonated at the camp at about 5 a.m., according to a statement issued by the military.
“The Malian Armed Forces vigorously repelled a terrorist attack on the Kati barracks,” said the statement, which said that seven attackers were killed and eight arrested.
“The terrorists first blew up the vehicles at the entrance to the military camp, then shells were fired at the camp," said a military official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
Another group of  jihadis entered the camp on foot and “began burning vehicles parked in the camp, and then the attackers stole two army vehicles,” he said.
Friday’s attack on the Kati barracks base follows a coordinated series of insurgent attacks Thursday.
Jihadi rebels linked to al Qaida and the Islamic State group have been gaining ground in their decade-long insurgency.
Their attacks have mostly been in northern Mali but recently the extremists have moved into the centre of the country. This month they've moved closer to the capital.
