Gunmen have launched an attack on the Radisson Blu Hotel in the centre of Mali's capital, Bamako, witnesses say.
"Apparently it's an attempt to take hostages. The police are there and are sealing off the area," a security source told Reuters news agency.
Automatic weapon fire could be heard from outside the 190-room hotel, AFP reports.
BBC Afrique's Abdourahmane Dia says the US-owned hotel is popular with expats working in Mali.

‘Obama containment policy not working’???
Obama’s policies are an international JOKE!!!
To: elhombrelibre
They’re contained to Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. There still isn’t a lot of activity in Australia, South America and Antarctica. So there are still three continents to go.
