United Nations, Sep 20 UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has strongly condemned Tuesday's terrorist attack in Bamako, Mali.

"The secretary-general strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Bamako, Mali, on September 17," said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN chief, in a statement on Thursday.

The statement said that Guterres extended his sincere condolences to the families of the victims as well as to the transitional government and the people of Mali and wished a speedy recovery to those injured, including one UN guard unit member, Xinhua news agency reported.

The UN chief called on the Malian transitional government to ensure that those responsible for this despicable attack are held to account, the statement added.
