Burkina Faso: Muslims murder three European journalists, injure six others in jihad attack

A jihadist insurgency that began in 2015 has been the occasion for an appalling number of mass slaughters. So far, the jihadist insurgency has left over than 1,200 dead and about one million displaced — those have fled the violence.

As always, the jihadist objective is to establish a caliphate and expand the hegemony of the Sharia. But the so-called human rights “experts” ignore the real victims, so as to not offend Islam.

Three European journalists — two Spanish and one Irish — have been killed in an attack on an anti-poaching patrol in Burkina Faso, officials said Tuesday.

“Three foreign nationals have been killed and a Burkinabe is missing,” government spokesman and communications minister Ousseni Tamboura said in a statement, adding that six people had been injured in the attack in the eastern region of Fada N’Gourma-Pama.

A senior security source in the West African country said the three foreigners — all identified as journalists by the rights group Reporters Without Borders — had been “executed by terrorists”.

He did not specify who was behind Monday’s attack targeting the group, which had included soldiers and forest rangers as well as foreign reporters.

The attackers used two pick-up vehicles and a dozen motorbikes, according to security sources.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez confirmed that two Spanish journalists had been killed.

“The worst news is confirmed. All our affection for the relatives and friends of David Beriain and Roberto Fraile (de Baracaldo), who were murdered in Burkina Faso,” he tweeted.

He praised “those who, like them, carry out courageous and essential journalism from conflict zones”….
