24 Killed In Brutal Terror Attack On Burkina Faso Church; Local Pastor Targeted
[AFP via Zero] Gunmen killed at least 24 people and wounded 18 more during an attack on a protestant church in the village of Pansi, in the north of Burkina Faso, announced the governor of the Sahel region, Colonel Salfo Kaboré.
A group of "armed terrorists" burst into the village of Pansi, in Yagha, a volatile province near the Niger border, "and attacked the peaceful local population after having identified them and separated them from non-residents," Colonel Salfo Kabore said in a statement sent to AFP.

The Sunday attack occurred during weekly church service, according to the AFP.
