At least 20 people have been killed and another 15 wounded Friday in an ongoing Al-Qaeda attack on a hotel in the capital of Burkina Faso popular with United Nations staff and westerners.
Officials said French forces could join a counter-assault on the hotel, where assailants were apparently still holed up more than three hours after the attack began.
The attack comes less than two months after a jihadist hostage siege at the luxury Radisson Blu Hotel in the Malian capital Bamako in November, in which 20 people died including 14 foreigners.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are we becoming sensitized to Islamic terrorist attacks? What changes have been implemented to make the country safer from terror? Or the question should be rephrased: Why is the government vilifying the people as Islamophobic instead of taking measures to secure the borders? No politician is discussing the role that the Obama administration played in the formation of ISIS.
So are we going to turn a blind eye to the danger that the world faces and become complacent.? Even attacks in our country have not resulted in any positive changes. I would not call the importation of Muslim Syrians to be a positive change; I would not call Obama’s executive orders attacking the 2nd Amendment to be a positive change.
Okay, you can go back and watch television now.
