UPDATE 3-'So many dead': Survivors describe terrifying Burkina Faso ambush
A mine worker shot during an ambush on a mining convoy in Burkina Faso said on Friday he was one of only three survivors from a bus with up to 80 people aboard, suggesting the death toll may be much higher than officially reported. Abel Kabore, 35, described the attackers, some speaking a foreign language and shouting “Allahu Akbar” – Arabic for “God is great” – raking three buses with bullets after a security vehicle escorting the convoy hit a landmine.
