An Al Qaeda-linked group claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack in Grand-Bassam, the third major attack on a tourism centre in a West African country since November.
Al Qaeda in the Maghreb and al-Mourabitoune claimed responsibility, Mauritanian newspaper al-Akhbar said, citing sources close to the Islamist fighters. The groups use the paper to publish claims of responsibility. At least 14 civilians and two soldiers were killed, Agence-France Presse reported, citing President Alassane Ouattara. At least six militants were killed, the government said in an emailed statement
is the ivory coast in africa?
i thought al qaeda was like literally only in the middle east and boko haram was handling all the terrorists stuff in africa
The world can never be at peace with these terrorist running around and killing innocents so randomly like this. I hate these disgusting acts of terrorism.
Seriously, this was the first breaking news story of the day and Turkey was posted first despite it happening after.
I used to post news as it happened then realised atrl is just as racist as the rest of the world. "I'm not surprised" they say as people are literally dying in these countries. Poorer countries as well. It's not New York nor London, but it's still as tragic.
omg
