Two French nationals killed in Ouagadougou attack: French foreign ministry

PARIS: Two French nationals were among those killed in the attacks on a hotel in Burkina Faso’s capital, a French foreign ministry official said on Saturday.

Over two dozen people of 18 nationalities were killed in Friday’s attack before security forces, aided by French troops, retook the hotel on Saturday from the al Qaeda fighters that had seized it.
