Mali gets new prime minister after forced ouster

Mali's interim president has named a replacement after soldiers behind a coup earlier this year forced out the prime minister and placed him under house arrest, provoking international condemnation.
The political turmoil has deepened concerns about Mali's stability at a time when the international community is considering backing a military intervention, including Malian soldiers, to oust the country's north from the hands of radical Islamists.
