 Malian security forces apprehended at least two men at Bamako Grand Mosque after the presidency said at least one attempted to stab interim president Asimi Goita while a group of soldiers encircled Goita for his protection. Another security detail apprehended two men, pointing handguns in their faces and pinning them down to the ground before leading them outside the mosque. One of the men was then tied up and placed in the back of a military pickup truck. Goita later appeared on state television to say that he was doing well.
