The overnight seizure of a luxury hotel in Burkina Faso's capital by al-Qaida-linked extremists ended Saturday when Burkina Faso and French security forces killed four jihadist attackers and freed more than 126 people, the West African nation's president said. At least 23 other people from up to 18 different countries were killed in the attack at the Splendid Hotel and nearby Cappuccino Cafe, establishments popular with westerners in Ouagadougou, the capital, he said. Three attackers were killed at the hotel and a fourth was killed when security forces cleared out a second hotel nearby.

NOTE TO SELF Look up where Burkina Faso is so you can stay the hell out of there.

‘Two of the three attackers at the Splendid Hotel were identified as female, President Roch Marc Christian Kabore said on national radio.’

No reason not to welcome female muzzie refugees.

And he doesn’t care. Not even a little

Remember, though, this has nothing to do with Islam (WRONG!).

[MtnClimber]

Bush's fault.

[MtnClimber]

Burkina Faso is a small country in West Africa. It is near Mali, Togo and Ghana.

I just finished Wiki-educating myself on Burkina Faso.

SELF: UNDERLINE “stay the hell outta there.”

[MtnClimber]

West Africa.... Next stop Is our east coast. These are main stream Muslims. That’s what they do.

There have already been many here in the USA. The last was in California. It is already here and 0bama is bringing in more.

“At least one. He was a missionary running an orphanage. In God’s hands now”

A missionary doing good work. This is sad. And an orphanage no less. These Muzzie terrorists are pure evil.

Not sure that al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) branch Al-Mourabitoun are mainstream Muslims. Even so, the radicals are already in the continental US.
