THE body of a Chinese UN peacekeeper who died in a terrorist rocket attack in Mali has arrived in the Mali capital Bamako and is expected to be brought home soon for burial on a chartered flight.

Shen Liangliang, from central China's Henan province, was 29. Four other Chinese nationals were injured in the attack on UN mission.

China condemned the attack on the mission, with foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying telling a press conference in Beijing: “This is a grave and outrageous crime, China strongly condemns it, we call for the UN and Mali to carry out a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.” She added: “We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and express our heartfelt sympathy to the wounded and the families of the victims.”
