[SENSITIVE CONTENT] The Malian government on Saturday denied allegations the army carried out mass summary executions of civilians in the centre of the country earlier in March.

Its statement follows the U.N. peacekeeping mission’s decision on Friday to investigate the killing of dozens of people in the rural commune of Diabaly.

An official in central Mali, who asked not to be named, said the bodies were found on Tuesday night and are believed to be people who were arrested by the Malian army, some on February 20 and others on March 1.
