Default 'Hostages held' after two car bombs explode (Burkina Faso)


Security forces in Burkina Faso battled suspected Islamist fighters outside the Splendid Hotel in the capital's business district as reports surfaced that at least one hostage is being held.


The gunmen stormed the hotel, burning cars outside and firing in the air to drive back crowds before security forces arrived, prompting an intense exchange of gunfire.

A senior official with the national gendarmes said suspected Islamist fighters took an unknown number of hostages.




'It is continuing at this time. We are trying to know how many attackers they are to better coordinate our actions. Hostages have been taken. The operation could take several hours,' the officer said asking not to be named.


Eyewitnesses say two car bombs exploded at approximately 7.30pm local time before three or four masked men stormed the hotel.
Witnesses reported seeing a gunmen emerge from the hotel and fire into the air to keep crowds away

a Western African Nation

watch BBC - miss bits
There News Ch . is not up to date.
But if people prefer it - Not a problem
no ads but LONG BBC Ads (supplied by BBCAmerica)
so you can not win.

Many BBCNews hours
is now outside funded
they call it BBC Worldwide
which includes the Money making commercial division BBCAmerica.

Yes Ammi it got even worse with 30 more Killed.

It was on all news
but not for long.

As in Greece more Children died in freezing water
as that boat driver was just told do take it,
had no idea on how to go on those waters
Greece Police Charged him with Manslaughter.

It still goes on
