Official list of 22 names and nationality of victims of Burkina Faso hotel terror attack
Burkina Faso's Interior Security Minister Simon Compaore
said that 22 of the victims of last Friday's attack on the
Splendid Hotel in Quagadougou, Burkina Faso have been identified.
The
list released on Sunday, January 18, include seven Burkinades, four
Canadians, three Ukranians, two Swiss Nationals, one American, one
Dutch, one Libyan and one Portuguese.
Compaore
said the government has reinforced security across the country
following the attack and urged the citizens not to verbally or
physically attack people in Islamic attires.
"Following
the barbaric attack...some angry civilians began attacking people with a
long beard or those who had covered their heads with scarfs." Compaore
said.
He therefore called
on the public to have confidence in the national authorities and to
trust the defense and security forces who are doing everything possible
to secure the entire national territory
