Two soldiers loyal to junta chief Capt. Amadou Sanogo load their weapons, including a machine gun, onto a taxi which they hailed while returning on foot from the parachutists military camp, where junta soldiers took control in fighting against anti-junta forces, in Bamako, Mali, Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Gunfire echoed across the capital Tuesday as Malian government troops battled each other, killing at least 12 people as one side tried to oust soldiers who seized power in a coup over a month ago. Mali's coup leaders, who ostensibly handed over power to an interim civilian government on April 12 but who still wield power, said they control the state broadcaster, the airport and a military base, fending off attacks by opposing forces. Sanogo told a private radio station Monday night that the countercoup had failed and that his soldiers have captured foreign fighters.  The New York Times  Wed 2 May 2012
