BAMAKO, Aug 30 (Reuters) - At least 10 civilians were killed and several injured when their vehicle hit a landmine in northern Mali planted by suspected Tuareg rebels, military spokesman Colonel Abdoulaye Traore said on Thursday.

In a separate incident, one soldier was killed and several were injured when their vehicle hit a second mine, another military source said. The deaths followed three attacks this week by the rebels in the desolate mountain region near the border with Algeria and Niger.

People attend the funeral of a soldier, Ali Sahan, in the central Anatolian city of Kutahya October 8, 2007. A Turkish soldier was killed and three more were wounded in a landmine explosion on Monday, putting further pressure on Turkey's government just one day after Kurdish rebels shot dead 13 Turkish troops. The increased attacks on security personnel in mainly Kurdish southeast Turkey have reignited talk of a major Turkish military incursion into neighbouring northern Iraq to crush Kurdish rebels who use the region as a base.
