On 20 November 2015, terrorist gunmen took 170 people hostage and killed 20 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Bamako, Mali. In the 2015 Bamako hotel attack one American victim was Anita Datar, an international development worker at Palladium International working on its Health Policy Plus project. After the incident, Hillary Clinton described Ms. Datar by saying, "Anita Datar was a bright light who gave help and hope to people in need around the world, especially women and families... She represented the best of America’s generous spirit."
