On 26 February 2019, an attack involving a booby-trapped corpse occurred in Diankabou, Koro Cercle, Mopti Region, Mali, killing 17 people. This was the first attack involving a booby-trapped corpse throughout the Mali War.[1] While no one claimed responsibility for the attack, local jihadists were suspected.[2]
Attack
On 22 February 2019, a Dogon man named Boukary Guindo disappeared after going out to get food for his livestock.[1] After several days of searching by family members and other villagers, his corpse was found on 26 February.[3] Family members held a funeral for Guindo in his town of Gondogourou, in Diankabou, Mali. His corpse turned out to be booby-trapped, and exploded as he was lowered into the ground.[1]
17 people were killed, and 15 injured, according to a Koro cercle official.[1]
