Military Takes Key Posts in Mali's Interim Govt.

Mali's interim president Bah Ndaw appointed a 25-strong government on Monday in which members of the military occupy key posts, according to a decree broadcast live on state television.

At least four central cabinet posts -- defense, security, territorial administration and national reconciliation -- go to colonels in the army, said the decree read by the president's secretary-general Sekou Traore.
