"French warplanes have bombed rebel bases and depots in remote parts of northern Mali to try to cut off supply routes, France's foreign minister says. Laurent Fabius told France Inter radio that the rebels would not be able to stay long without fresh supplies. Thirty jets struck on Sunday around Tessalit amid fears the rebels could re-group in the mountainous region. In Paris, US Vice-President Joe Biden backed plans for an African-led force and eventual UN operation in Mali."
