Mali Conflict: 'Many Die' In Ifoghas Mountain Battle -- BBC
Thirteen Chadian soldiers and 65 Islamist insurgents have been killed in heavy fighting in a remote part of northern Mali, Chad's military says.
It says Friday's clashes occurred in the Ifoghas mountains, where many militants are believed to be hiding.
Last month France led an operation to help oust Islamists who seized the vast northern region of Mali in 2012.
The US military says it has deployed surveillance drones in Niger to gather information on the Islamist militants.
