Burkina Faso Mosque Attack Kills 16 Worshippers, Many Injured by heendrix(m): 5:11pm On Oct 13, 2019 |
Armed men have stormed a mosque in Burkina Faso as worshippers were praying inside, killing more than a dozen people and sending residents fleeing, security sources said. The attack took place at the Grand Mosque in the northern village of Salmossi on Friday evening in the Oudalan region bordering Mali. One source told AFP news agency that 13 people died on the spot and three succumbed to their injuries later. Two of the wounded were in critical condition. "Since this morning, people have started to flee the area," a resident of the nearby town of Gorom-Gorom told AFP. He said there was a "climate of panic, despite military reinforcements" that were deployed after the deadly attack. A security source and a local official told Reuters news agency about 15 people were killed in the attack. The identities of the gunmen were not yet clear. In recent years, Burkina Faso has seen a surge in violence linked to armed groups, including al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL or ISIS). The groups, who crossed into Burkina Faso from neighbouring Mali, have ignited ethnic and religious tensions, especially in northern regions. Almost 500,000 people have fled their homes because of the violence, according to the United Nations refugee agency, which has warned of a humanitarian crisis affecting 1.5 million people. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso's defence and security forces are badly equipped, poorly trained and have proven unable to put a halt to the increasing violence. France has a force of 200 in the country but also intervenes frequently as part of its regional Barkhane operations. source >> mynd44 lalasticlala Dominique https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/dozen-killed-burkina-faso-mosque-attack-191012193112330.html
