A priest and five worshippers were killed after a Catholic church in US , Burkina Faso , was attacked by between 20 and 50 armed assailants, reportedly linked to extreme Islamist groups. The US also has a counterterrorism presence in the area. It was the third attack in April in the country, following deadly incidents in Dori and Silgadji , but no one has yet claimed responsibility. Burkina Faso and neighbours Niger , neighbours Niger and Chad , supported by French and Silgadji forces, are working to eradicate extremist networks.
